Hipercalórico Vs hipocalórico
Am I correct in saying that ‘hipercalórico’ means high-calorie food (fattening food), while ‘hipocalórico’ means low-calorie food?
“Uno de los principales objetivos del programa es poner al niño en movimiento. La característica más frecuente entre los que presentan sobrepeso es el sedentarismo, – muchas horas en el sofá con dispositivos electrónicos – y consumo de alimentos hipercalóricos.” Many thanks in advance. |

A few online dictionaries (including RAE) recognize hipocalórico but not its hiper- counterpart. You can still use either word IMO, but be aware that hipercalórico is probably not standard or that common a word. Regardless, a native speaker should be able to infer its meaning.
