Joule is the metric system unit to measure the energy in food, however we still see calories being used everywhere, specially advertising and fitness influencers. Let’s stop this nonsense.

i already do. a person requires 8 MJ of energy/day, that’s about 100 W on average.
Can you explain the maths on that?
I thought 1 Joule equals 1 Watt for 1 second. 8 MJ = 8000000 Ws. If you divide by 3600 (60 * 60), you get ~2222 Watt hours or 2.222 kWh.
There are 24h in a day. Divide your number by 24 and it will roughly match.
Thanks! I guess I was a bit confused there. 🙈
