What is a megaelectron-volt (MeV)?

A megaelectron-volt is a unit of energy equal to one million electronvolts, commonly used in physics to describe particle energies.

What does the nutritional calorie represent?

A nutritional Calorie (capital C) is a kilocalorie, representing the energy content in food and drink and is equal to 1,000 small calories.

Why convert MeV to nutritional Calories?

This conversion helps relate highly specialized energy units in physics to everyday energy measurements used in nutrition science.
