Would a calorie cap be reasonable?

A legislation that isn't possible to enforce is not reasonable, no.

Banning cigarettes = easy to enforce.

Banning sugar in soft drinks = easy to enforce.

Limiting how many calories you can consume = how do you propose we do that? Do we even have the technology to track what someone eats? And do we carve out exceptions for athletes?

If there was a way to cap calories without surgically inserting trackers into everybody I'm sure you'd see a lot less opposition to your idea.
