calorically
In food energy
Calorically means in terms of calories—the units measuring energy in food.
The word appears in discussions of nutrition and diet: calorically dense foods pack many calories into small portions, calorically restricted diets aim to reduce intake.
Something calorically equivalent to another has the same energy content.
