What does kilocalorie (IT)/minute measure?

It measures the rate of energy transfer expressed as one kilocalorie (International Table) delivered or consumed each minute, often used in nutritional and thermal energy contexts.

How is newton meter/second related to watts?

One newton meter per second equals one joule per second, which is the definition of one watt, making them equivalent units for power.
