To answer my own question I just found this. What is a KCAL in exercise? The number of kilocalories (kcals) you burn depends on the type of exercise you do. (A kcal is the same amount of energy as a calorie, except that the custom is to use the term "calories" when we're talking about food and "kilocalories" when we're talking about exercise. They're both the same amount of energy.)
Hope that helps someone and clears up any confusion.
