That's about right. People today are all afraid of calories. Calories are just energy. Granted, that energy can turn into love handles, but that's probably because you either don't exercize enough or ate too many calories.
Also, it's the amount of energy required to raise 1
gram of water 1 degree celsius. Another, more modern, definition is 1 calorie = 4.18 joules.
