Cooking and calories
How much does cooking alter the calorie content of food? I've been having trouble calculating the number of calories in dishes that I prepare myself; I just add up the calorie content of the ingredients for an estimate, but I don't know how accurate this is.
It seems to me that heating things would tend to reduce the number of calories due to oxidation, but then there is plenty of heat to fuel an endothermic reaction. Anyone have some good rules of thumb for estimating calorie changes?
