What does calorie (nutritional) represent?

Calorie (nutritional) denotes the kilocalorie (kcal), a unit used to quantify the energy available from food and drink as well as energy expenditure by the body.

What is a watt-hour used for?

A watt-hour measures the energy transferred by one watt of power sustained over one hour, commonly used to quantify electrical energy consumption and battery capacities.

Why convert from calorie (nutritional) to watt-hour?

This conversion helps relate dietary energy values to electrical energy metrics, useful in scientific and engineering contexts linking nutrition energy and electrical power.
