This sense is primarily used in physics and chemistry contexts. In everyday nutrition talk, 'calorie' actually refers to a kilocalorie (1,000 of these small calories). When you need to be precise in science, the small calorie may be spelled with a lowercase 'c' while the food kilocalorie uses a capital 'C,' though this convention is not always followed.
