1 gram of protein translates to about 4 calories. 1 gram of carbohydrate (sugar or fiber) translates to about 4 calories. 1 gram of fat translates to about 9 calories.
"High-calorie food" usually refers to something that is high in fat, or high in calories but low in nutrients. Nutrient-dense foods like fruits and vegetables are usually considered low-calorie foods because they do not contain much fat and contain a high nutrient to calorie ratio.
