caloric
Rich in energy
Caloric is the adjective form of calorie, relating to the energy content of food or the heat produced by metabolic processes.
A caloric deficit means consuming fewer calories than you burn, while caloric intake refers to the total calories consumed.
The word appears frequently in nutrition and fitness contexts: I'm tracking my caloric consumption to lose weight.
As a noun, caloric is an obsolete term from early chemistry referring to a hypothetical fluid once thought to be the substance of heat.
