What does 1 Calorie (nutritional) represent?

It represents a kilocalorie equal to 1,000 small calories and is defined as 4,184 joules, indicating the energy available from food.

Where is the pound-force inch primarily used?

In US customary mechanical engineering contexts for quantifying small mechanical work such as torque or actuator energy.

Why are converted values so large when going from Calories to pound-force inch?

Because the Calorie is a large energy unit and the pound-force inch measures small mechanical energy, resulting in large numeric outputs.
