if calories equal energy why do we feel more lethargic on high calorie foods like kebabs, fast food, pizza etc rather than more energetic. And why do we feel more energetic on lighter goods like chicken and salads.

One thing people often underestimate or misunderstand is how much work is required for digestion.
Some people feel a “hot flash” after a large/heavy meal, part of that is due to how much work your body is doing.
Eating a salad is like taking a brisk walk around the block in the morning. Not much effort but it “energizes” your system.
Eating a gut stuffing meal is like doing sprints for a full hour. Highly exhausting.
Ever overeat in the evening, then your gut feels sore in the morning?
