scientifically speaking (keep in mind this is from last year science class) it's the amount of energy it takes to raise one gram of water one degree celcius. So, basically, it's a unit to measure energy.

A unit of energy-producing potential equal to this amount of heat that is contained in food and released upon oxidation by the body. Also called nutritionist's calorie.
