Nah, calories is the word that people use when actually talking to each other. Though energy intake in used, probably not with any positive or negative spin though.
I think the point is, on food packaging here, both the SI (http://is.gd/hwNl, only the US, Myanmar and Liberia don't use SI officially) (kilojoules, kJ) and old non-SI (kCal) are used (though no one uses kJ in day to day life I'm sure), so to use the term "calories" then to quote a kJ value would be... well it would just be wrong.

I dunno, he went off to UCL to study biology, only to swap to philosophy as he is a lazy get. Plus he's doing a podcast series on ideas including medicine, natural hist. etc... but yeah, booking him (IN MY DREAMS!) for a science session only for him to make the funnies about raping tree sloths (or whatever) might be disappointing.

Ince and Addison: good calls. Also Jose Long.
