| I noticed that the Fitness Log uses "kcal" and was wondering if it is using it as most do and that is kcal = calorie. I know the definition of "kcal" but rarely does anyone use it this way. Whenever I precede any notation of measurement with a "k" it means "times 1 thousand".

Hi and thanks for the question! We are using kilocalorie, which is the correct measurement. When you see calories on food labels or exercise machines, it is referring to kilocalories. Sometimes the difference is shown by using a capital letter (e.g. Calories).
