Heat energy is measured in joules (newton-meters), which are also a unit of work.
The calorie is a mostly-superseded unit equal to 4.2 joules, while the "food energy" calorie is actually a kilocalorie (1000 calories).
Units of temperature are a related value, indicating the relative contained heat energy. The units of temperature are the kelvin / degree Celsius and the different interval, the degree Fahrenheit. Classically, adding 1 mean calorie of heat energy would raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree Celsius.
