Nutrition / disponibilidad energética

Spanish term or phrase: disponibilidad energética

La frase completa es "75% de los hogares encuestados no alcanzaron el nivel suficiente de disponibilidad energética".

Es un término utilizado en el campo de la nutrición. Se refiere al acceso a alimentos para asegurar el consumo de suficientes calorías.

Se podría decir energetic availability? suena un tanto extraño, pero también en español. Más que una traducción, quizás puedan ayudarme con un término alternativo.

Notes to answerer

Asker: Gracias a todos, esta era una buena opción, pero descubrí que el término "energetic availability", aunque raro, es muy usual en el campo de la nutrición, asi que voy a respetar el original. Espero nos sirva a todos.
