Why do you think that? if they walk, fight, metabolize, produce body heat etc they need energy, that is simple physics, LOTR world is allegedly our world so it would be safe to say that same laws apply. Organisms that expand less energy are either very slow(like a turtle) ot they have to be heated by the sun like snakes and lizards, orcs are neither so i would assume they need as much energy as a human proportionately, of course Snaga are smaller then humans so they may need a bit less but Uruk-hai would most likely need as much as humans or more, and trolls must be eating as much as a pack of lions.
