What does kilocalorie (IT)/minute measure?

It measures power as the rate of energy transfer equal to one kilocalorie delivered or consumed each minute, commonly used for nutritional or small-scale thermal energy.

Why convert kilocalorie (IT)/minute to megajoule per second?

Converting allows expressing energy transfer rates in standard SI units suitable for engineering, power generation, and scientific analysis on larger scales.

Is megajoule per second the same as megawatt?

Yes, 1 megajoule per second equals 1 megawatt, both reflecting a rate of one million joules per second.
