The unit of the calorie #2900

Your limit set for the calorie goal is -3000 to 10000. However, the unit is "cal". This is around -3 to 10 kcal, which is impossible; the calorie of a glass of milk is around 150kcal. I think you meant kcal for this project; the unit should change to kcal.

The widely accepted convention is that Calories are equivalent to kcal. Therefore, when people talk about calories, it is instinctively assumed to be in kcal. However, we acknowledge that using cal interchangeably with Calories might cause confusion, especially to users who are more aware of scientific information, and perhaps we could have clarified this in the UG as well.
