When you stir fry veggies, how many calories does it add to them?

When you stir fry veggies, how many calories does it add to them? Is it just the calories in the oil and the sauce? Or anything more?

really?

Yes.
How many calories you add depends on the recipe. Some stir-fries have very little, if any, sauce. Others have a lot of high-calorie sugary sauce.

Most veggie stir fries don't have a high calorie sauce, but something like General Tso's chicken is a different story.

Debate this shit later i just want answers

How could there be more calories in a dish than the sum of the calories of the ingredients? How old are you?

Thanks

Guess im just being paranoid. Thanks

No, you're being stupid. Think for once in your fucking life. Where did you think those magical calories would have come from? Do you think the high heat adds calories?

>Is it just the calories in the oil and the sauce? Or anything more?
They absorb the wild calories floating in the air. What do you think, genius?

Cooked food has more calories than raw food faggots.
>>

Well when you cook something you burn the calories out, but if you're doing something like ice cream (which is very high calorie and unhealthful) making it colder increases the density of the calories.

Sort of like chopping the vegetables smaller reduces the calories, right?
>>
>>9338639
Well then it matters how much air is around the veggies when they cook so the calories can escape.

There is no reason to be rude to OP like that, this is kind of a legitimate question. When an ingredient is used as a cooking medium like oil exactly how much of it makes it through to the final calorie count is probably somewhat difficult to estimate exactly. Maybe if you're just coating the pan and stir-frying it's reasonable to just add the whole spoonful of oil you used or whatever to the total count but there's basically infinite ways this situation could vary and it's something I've wondered about too

No estimate is ever exact. If you want to sperg about it you can always weigh your wok and serving plate before cooking, and again after cooking, to see how much of the oil stuck behind and you'd didn't eat. But nobody is actually going to bother to do that.

The simple answer is to ignore it. The vast majority of stir fries use a small amount of oil, and a lot of it remains behind coating your cookware, plate, etc. The amount in your food is negligible.
