high-calorie
Rich in energy
High-calorie describes foods or drinks containing substantial energy per serving—the kind that contribute significantly to daily intake: high-calorie snacks, a high-calorie meal.
The term often carries negative connotations in diet-conscious contexts, though athletes and those needing weight gain may seek out high-calorie options deliberately.
