Er, are we talking about same order of magnitude here? I notice that in USA, notably on food packaging, "Calories" (captalised) equals "thousand calories" (lower case). Elsewhere (including Japan), it seems that the kCals is used, avoiding confusion capitalisation.

Yes, a muffin is usually 300+ Calories or kCals and running a mile is ~100 Calories or kCals depending on your speed and weight.
North Americans typically just use Calories for food and excerise contexts. Small c calories is really just used for science.
