What does one mega Btu (IT) represent?

One mega Btu (IT) equals one million British thermal units based on the International Table, measuring thermal energy approximately equal to 1.055 × 10^9 joules.

How does a Calorie (nutritional) differ from a small calorie?

The Calorie with a capital C refers to the kilocalorie, which is 1,000 small calories and used to quantify food energy; one kilocalorie equals 4,184 joules.

Why convert mega Btu (IT) to calorie (nutritional)?

This conversion helps translate industrial thermal energy values into units relevant for nutrition and dietary comparisons, supporting research and health applications.
