    Not dietal calories.

    The calorie numbers we assign to food, measure how much energy our body extracts from them when eaten.

    In this context, plutonium is closer to 0

    If we instead want to measure the actual total physical energy content of materia, we would turn to E=mc^2, telling us that a gram of anything has about 20 million kcal, no matter if its plutonium or diet coke. which is a slightly less useful value on food labels :D
