Most media just has superheroes consume regular calories for their body size it seems. Where does all this extra energy come from? Guess Flash has the speed force, Hulk the gamma radiation, and Superman the star power. Only two I remember someone eating extra calories is Pecorine from Princess Connect and that one girl who can create anything from My Hero Academia.
And I seem to recall a few times where one of the various flash-like characters ate a huge amount of food without thinking about it. Wally ate a 3-5 gallon tub of ice cream that had been meant for someone’s birthday, if I recall.
AFAIK flash does actually need to consume calories and all that, so maybe it’s better than running literally everywhere.
This was a plot point in the recent Flash movie.
And the show, many years before

No, I specifically remember the flash drinking his coffee with double digit number of sugars in the Justice League cartoons.
