Under literally any ethical system you choose.
Forget harm to the animal for a moment.
Breeding animals to slaughter is more water, land and time intensive than growing crops, and produces substantially fewer calories for even more land area. Breeding animals to slaughter also generates far more CO2 then crops, either from the animal directly or from transport and butchering processes.
If it's pure calories you're after, might I suggest Uranium? It's pretty cheap considering what you can theoretically get out of it.

I don't think that you Uranium contains any calories.
I don't think you understand what calories are.

Food calories and scientific measurement calories are different. It's literally in the first paragraph of the article.
My comment specifically says "pure calories".
