1 calorie is 4.1868 joules. This is referred to (or was when I was at school a long time ago) as the 'mechanical equivalent of heat' and is worth remembering, you can say 4.2 joules to a good approximation.

So 1 kcal = 4,186.8 joules or 4.1868 kjoules if you prefer

The kilo- prefix means 1000 → 1 kcal = 1000 cal

In food labelling and nutrition, the units called "calories" (as in a "calorie controlled diet") are actually kilo-calories, ie what is spoken of as 1 calorie is, in fact, actually 1 kcal.

If there are 9kcal in 1g of fat how many in 1kg?

The difference between kcal and cal is 1000 cal = 1 kcal. However, we usually count food calories with kcal, and use kcal and cal interchangeably. Therefore, 9 kcal [Food Calories] = 9 cal. So, to the point: If there are 9 kcal in 1 g of fat, there are 9000 kcal in 1 kg of fat (1 kg = 1000 g).

How do you convert calories to kcal?

k signifies "multiplied by one thousand", so 1000 calories is one kcal. Note, however, that dietetic "Calories" are already equivalent to kcals. They are actually exactly the same. kcal is kilocalories. Sometimes the term Calories is also used with "C" in uppercase. Both are correct and 1 kcal = 1 Cal. When we loosely say 1 Calorie, actually we mean 1 kilocalorie.
