The most obvious issue is getting adequate nutrition. Creating biotic mass effects takes such a toll on metabolism that active biotics develop ravenous appetites. The standard Alliance combat ration for a soldier is 3000 '''calories''' per day; biotics are given 4500, as well as a canteen of potent energy drink for quick refreshment after hard combat.}}

|passage=Mostly, the microbiome is beneficial. It helps with digestion and enables people to extract a lot more '''calories''' from their food than would otherwise be possible. Research over the past few years, however, has implicated it in diseases from atherosclerosis to asthma to autism.}}
# {{lb|en|physical chemistry|physics|obsolete}} The gram calorie or small calorie, a non-[[SI]] [[unit]] of [[energy]], equivalent to approximately 4.2 [[joule]]s. This unit was widely used in [[chemistry]] and [[physics]], being the amount of energy needed to raise the [[temperature]] of 1 [[gram]] of [[water]] by 1°C.

====Usage notes====
* Most scientific studies are now carried out using the joule (an SI unit).
* In nutritional contexts the term ''calorie'' refers to the kilogram calorie and the term ''kilocalorie'' refers to 1000 gram calories. Thus the two terms are equivalent.
* Calorie counters, such as those on fitness bikes, use the first, more modern, definition.
* European legislation now requires foods to be labelled with the term ''kilocalorie''.
