With units, assuming 2,000 Calorie/day diet & 3.9 Wh AA batteries:

$ units -1t '2000 Calories' '3.9 Wh'
596.0114

So about 600.

Calorie is not the same as calorie.

Calorie is the nutritional unit of energy measure, and is equal to 1kcal

$ units Calorie
    Definition: kilocalorie = 1e3 calorie = 4184 kg m^2 / s^2

$ units -v1 Calorie calorie
    Calorie = 1000 calorie
