What does Calorie (nutritional) represent?

Calorie (nutritional), denoted with a capital C, represents a kilocalorie which equals 1000 small calories and is defined as 4,184 joules, measuring energy in food.

What is pound-force foot used for?

Pound-force foot is an imperial energy unit representing work done by a one pound-force over one foot, commonly used for mechanical work and torque measurements.

Why should I be cautious when converting these units?

Because pound-force foot units can represent both energy and torque, and the nutritional calorie is much larger, interpreting converted values correctly requires attention to context.
