Cooking can significantly change food’s calorie content. Factors like cooking method, food type, and ingredients influence this. Frying adds calories, while boiling and grilling generally don’t. Cereals and legumes expand, while proteins may shrink. Adding fats or oils increases calories. Overcooking can reduce moisture and increase density. Consider these factors when tracking calories. Consistency is key, and measuring raw food is generally more accurate.
