Calorically

/kəˈlɔr.ɪ.kə.li/ adverb

Definition

Etymology

Kelly Says

Nutritionists use 'calorically' when discussing food in terms of energy content—saying something is 'calorically dense' means packing lots of energy into a small amount, which is why dense foods like nuts are so energy-packed.
