"Calorie" is not a chemical name but instead is a unit of the energy value that be obtained from food. Since any food sufficient to sustain life can provide calories for energy to the organism that consumes the food, almost any element (except the noble gases) can be a source of calories, but a calorie is a unit of the abstract concept energy rather than a material substance and therefore can not be "found" in food in the usual meaning of that phrase.
