Technically, yeah, 1 kilocalorie (kcal) = 1000 calories (cal), but in a lot of places (e.g. Americuh), we use the “Calorie” (with a capital C) in place of the kilocalorie.
Not being bothered by stuff like this seems to be one of the reasons people start using terms that are actually wrong instead of just ambiguous. Like 2K to describe QHD.

Isn’t it “cal” vs “kcal” (kilocalories), as in 1000cal?
Correct, but more to use kJ (kiloJoule) wich is the right physical unit.
Yes. The “kilogram calorie” is just confidently incorrect shit.

In other words:
Yes, it is exactly as stupid as it sounds.
Wow, at the beginning I thought you were joking
I wish I were joking. Lol.
That’s why they can’t have nice things
Trust me, I wish we made more sense. It would make my life a hell of a lot easier. Lol.
