A calorie and a Joule are both units used to measure energy. In this respect, they are similar. One calorie is equal to about 4.2kJ, or 4.2Joules/1000. A calorie is generally a measure of heat.
The calorie was developed before the International Standard Measurements.
A joule is the SI unit for energy, or work. 1 Joule = 1newton meter= 1 watt second. It is the result of a force over a distance.
