BTU: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_thermal_unit
The metric unit is the calorie.

No, for power it's the kWh. We don't use BTUs in the UK anymore.

Calories are only for your body.


It's a unit of energy. Where the energy is is irrelevant.

They can measure the Calorie content of food by burning it and measuring
the heat produced. This isn't in anyone's body.
