Does cooking fruit reduce calories? like if i boil the fruit and drain off the water?.. please read more..?

i accidently over cooked some pears... to the point they have no flavor.. so i was wondering since all the flavor(and the sugar frm the fruit) was drained off, are there less calories now? how many less do you think.

The amount of calories in fresh fruits is so small already, I dont think it would make hardly any difference. Natural sugars like what is naturally in fruits are not equal to sugar in a bag that you add to coffee. So to answer, I think the calorie difference would be a very small amount!
Reply:Well yes but who wants to eat it now??
Reply:I think you can boil away nutrients, but it's my experience that a dehyrdated apricot, for example, has as many calories if not more than it used to have because it has become more "calorie dense" by reducing it.



1 apricots = 14 calories

5 dried apricot halves = 90 calories
Reply:I would think so yes, but also the nutritional value must be gone as well... so why eat them?
