Does cold food have less calories?
It shouldn't. Heat plays no part in the amount of calories or nutrients food has unless it causes a chemical reaction, so unless your cold food is cooked wrong, it shouldn't. Even if a chemical reaction did take place, the heat should only cause the food to lose calories if it has any effect on that number.
Understanding The Calories In Food?
The number of calories indicated for a particular food is worth paying attention to, but remember that the source of the calories is also an important piece of information. Some calories reflect a high degree of sugar with little or no additional nutritional benefit. For example, an apple contains approximately the same number of calories as a 12-ounce can of soda. However, the soda contains calories from sugar or corn syrup. The apple contains calories from natural sugars, and it also contains vitamins and minerals. Think of the soda as containing empty calories. Red meat and fish contain fewer calories than white meat such as pork. Fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and pasta contain the highest amount of usable nutrients per the amount of calories.

Use a Nutrition Calculator to Determine Calories and Nutrients ?
If you are dieting, don't let restricting your calories also mean that you are restricting your nutrient intake as well. You can use a nutrition calculator to not only determine the calories and fat in a specific food, but also what other vitamins and minerals it contains as well. A nutrition calculator can also help you figure the calories and nutrients in a recipe by calculating each item individually and then dividing for the number of servings.
