What does Calorie (nutritional) represent?

Calorie (nutritional) is a unit of energy used in nutrition, equating to the kilocalorie and representing the energy available from food and drink.

Btu (th) is the thermochemical British thermal unit, a measure of energy based on heating one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit.

Why convert from Calorie (nutritional) to Btu (th)?

Converting helps relate dietary energy quantities to thermal energy values, useful in fields like HVAC design and fuel energy analysis.
