What is a horsepower (metric) hour?

It is the energy produced by sustaining one metric horsepower for one hour, equaling 2,647,795.5 joules.

What does calorie (nutritional) represent?

Calorie (nutritional) refers to kilocalorie used in dietetics, equivalent to 4,184 joules, indicating food energy.

Can I directly compare mechanical energy to nutritional energy?

While you can convert units, these energies represent different contexts and direct equivalence should be interpreted with care.
