What does a Calorie (nutritional) represent?

It represents a kilocalorie (kcal), a unit of energy equal to 4,184 joules, commonly used to quantify energy in food and drink.

Why convert from Calorie (nutritional) to erg?

Converting to erg allows integration of nutritional energy data with CGS units used in physics for research and interpreting historical scientific literature.

Is the erg commonly used in nutrition?

No, the erg is rarely used in nutrition and mainly applies to astrophysics, classical mechanics, and electromagnetism in scientific contexts.
