The higher the caloric content of a food, the more ATP can potentially be produced from it through cellular respiration. However, the process of converting food into ATP is not 100% efficient and some of the energy is lost as heat. So while high calorie foods can potentially provide more ATP, humans do not always convert all of the energy from those foods into ATP.

The Higher the Caloric Content of a Food, the Less
