No, power and energy are not the same thing. You must multiply power by
time to get energy.

Watts is power.

Calories and BTU are energy.

Sorry about the erroneous post. Mainly, I was replying to the nonsense
about Calories being only in the body.

I've only ever seen calories used for food energy values, not for anything else.

From what I remember of chemistry, the "calorie" was used quite often in the science. ¯\_(?)_/¯

I only remember that in Biology. And it was to work out the calorific value of foods.

A calorie was originally a metric BTU, the amount of energy it took to
raise a gram of water 1 degree c.
They had some inflation when we started using it to describe food so
it became the amount of energy to raise a kg of water one degree c.
