minus-squareNotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 month agoHow big of a cup are you using?
minus-squareNikls94@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 month agoA regular US cup. 21572 calories is 21.5 kcal and sugar is 3870 calories per gram, or 387 kcal per 100 grams. The KILO literally means THOUSAND.
minus-squareNotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 month agoYou, uh… sure, yeah. You’re right. You’re probably right.
minus-squarecalcopiritus@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 month agoYes. Kilo means thousand. However in some contexts, a single calorie is the same as a kilocalorie. Don’t ask me why. There are 2 calories, the small one and the big one. And the big one is exactly the same as a thousand of the small ones.
