Morphology
The meaning is directly and compositionally derived from 'calorie' (measure of energy in food) + 'chart' (a visual/display of numerical data): together they naturally denote a chart that lists caloric values. This noun–noun compound follows a common, cross-linguistic compositional pattern and would be immediately understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
Calorie chart comes from the simple idea of a chart that lists how many calories are in different foods. It is like a map of the food's 'energy', so people use it to choose foods or to 'track' what they eat.
