I don't know how you did that math, but you cannot convert kcal to mAh, you need a unit of energy like watt hour

2000 kcal * 4184 (J/kcal) / 3600 (seconds) ~= 2324 Wh

which is... a lot of batteries (a large laptop battery is around 100 Wh)

A human at rest uses around 100W, which is easier to remember.

2.3kWh is about 10kg of battery (more if LFP, less if NMC).
