What does one Calorie (nutritional) represent?

One Calorie (nutritional) equals one kilocalorie, which is 1,000 small calories and is defined as 4,184 joules of energy from food or drink.

Why convert Calories to fuel oil equivalent?

Converting Calories to fuel oil equivalent allows comparison between biological energy intake and large-scale fossil fuel energy, useful in energy accounting and industry analysis.

Can I use this conversion for precise energy calculations?

This conversion is better suited for general comparisons as fuel oil energy content varies with grade and density, and nutritional energy serves different purposes.
