do objects contain calories too?
In: 0
Sort of yes, and sort of no.
A piece of wood has a certain amount of energy you can get out of it (i.e. by burning it) and you could measure that amount in calories. But since you are unable to digest wood (assuming you’re not a termite), eating that piece of wood would give you zero calories of nutritional energy.
And of course, according to Einstein, all matter is energy.
