What does the watt (W) unit represent?

The watt is the SI derived unit of power, equal to one joule per second, measuring the rate of energy transfer or work done.

When would I use kilocalorie (IT)/minute instead of watts?

Kilocalorie (IT)/minute is commonly used to express energy expenditure rates in nutritional, physiological, or small-scale thermal contexts where food-energy units are preferred.

Is this conversion exact and suitable for all applications?

This conversion is approximate and best suited for metabolic or heat energy contexts; it may not be accurate enough for precise thermodynamic calculations.
