What is a kilogram-force centimeter?

It is a non-SI unit of energy defined as the work done by a force of one kilogram-force moving through one centimeter.

What does Calorie (nutritional) measure?

The nutritional Calorie, or kilocalorie, measures the energy available from food and expended by the body.

Why convert kilogram-force centimeters to nutritional Calories?

To connect mechanical energy measurements with dietary energy units useful in nutrition and metabolic studies.
