When you cook, you have the ingredients that you use, and each of those has a certain amount of calories. When you mix them together and cook them, does the calorie count change as they are getting cooked?
Does the law of conservation of energy apply to calories? Where they can’t be destroyed or created, only transferred?
Am I overthinking this?

Actually really good question, and I never thought about it as a physics major, but it is stupid simple, the cooking “gives” the energiy and the thermal energy of water inside beverages will grow, which means if you eat it hot you really putting in more energy inside your guts.. ofc it will not turn in to “calories” as we think about it, but as some of our energy consumption is reserved for us to keep our body warm, statistically this should help, and we should use up a bit less of energy, so eating warm food makes you fat in a super exaggerated meaning 😀 kind of interesting
