What does 1 Calorie (nutritional) represent in terms of energy?

1 Calorie (nutritional) equals 1 kilocalorie or 4,184 joules, quantifying energy from food and metabolism.

What is a horsepower hour in energy terms?

A horsepower hour is the energy produced by one horsepower sustained over one hour, roughly equal to 2.6845 million joules.

Why convert calorie (nutritional) to horsepower hour?

Converting allows relating energy available from food to mechanical work output, useful in nutrition, engineering, and energy analysis contexts.
