That is called the 'Gag Reflex'. The reflex prevents any liquid or solid food from getting into the lungs by going down the wrong (the Esophagus and not the Trachea).
It is simply food that you eat on the go. I am sure that some people use it to mean food or beverages that give you energy but I highly doubt that is the original meaning.
