500 kcals would be 500,000 calories!!!

No, it’s correct. Yes, strictly speaking it does equate to 500,000 “calories”, but these are the “small” calories as opposed to the usual “large” calories that are easier to deal with

So basically 500 kcal = 500 calories for all everyday intents and purposes.

Thanks so much Steve. I was trying to get answers from AI and feeling gaslighted.
