1 cal = 0.001 kcal
1 kcal = 4.2 KJ / 4.184kj

1 kj= 0.23 kcal

1 j= 0.001 kj

1 Kj= 1000 J
Conversion
Example:
25 cal = 0.025 kcal x 4.184 kj
1 kcal
= 0.105 kj

 Desirable body weight

example:
height: 5'3 convert to cm or meter
5 x 12 inches = 60 inches
60 + 3 inches = 63 inches
63 x 2.54 = 160.02cm

cm to meter
160cm ÷ 100 = 1.6 meter
