Calorie counting: Are calories in foods the same before and after baking?

If I am making a granola bar with 200 calories of oats, 130 calories of rasins, 60 calories of honey. After I bake the granola bar, would the entire (undivided) bar be 390 calories? (The ingredients may be unrealistic to make a granola bar, but I’m just making an example.)

Thank you very much, whoever helps me. =)
Because when I looked at the premixed cake powders, they all labeled 2 columns of nutritional facts, with one column for mixed paste, and another for baked cakes, does that mean that baking would add calories to foods?

And the definition of calorie is the energy required to raise 1 g of water to 1 degree Celsius, and baking would cause chemical reaction, so then – am I thinking too hard and complicated?? :P

The Florida State University College of Florida presents PRISM 2011, Tallahasse, Florida, November 30th, 2011 Kudu Horn A kudu horn is a musical instrument made from the horn of the kudu antelope. A form of it is sometimes used as a shofar in Jewish ceremonies. It is mostly seen in the Western world in its use as a part of the Scouting movement’s Wood Badge training program which, when blown, signals the start of a Wood Badge training course or activity. A horn of this shape, when used by soccer fans, is called kuduzela (compare with vuvuzela). en.wikipedia.org The greater kudu’s horns are spectacular and can grow as long as 72 inches, making 2 1/2 graceful twists. These beautifully shaped horns have long been prized in Africa for use as musical instruments, honey containers and symbolic ritual objects. www.awf.org

Can I lose weight for exercising everyday for one month? With 30 Day Shred Program, Stationary Bike?

I’m a teenager, around 5″4 in height, and the last time I checked I weighed 169 pounds.

I’m on summer vacation so most of the time I’d just be in the house watching TV. So I decided on working out with Jillian Michael’s 30 day shred that includes cardio (jumping jacks, high knees, jump rope, etc), strength with 4-pound dumbbells, circuit, etc which is done 20 minutes straight everyday for 30 days. But I stopped for 5 days once and the worse of it is that I was eating unhealthy during the first weeks of the program. I feel like I didn’t lose anything in the previous weeks because of what I ate and my lifestyle.

And now I still have around half a month to finish the program and another half until school starts. I’m planning on repeating the program until June. I also use the stationary bike a few minutes after the program for 20-25 minutes straight, then rest, then stationary bike again after a couple of hours of resting. I usually exercise in the afternoon.

I’ve decided to start eating healthy and I’m eating:

steamed chicken (without skin and flavorings) with lemon juice,
raw apples with pure honey,
boiled/poached eggs without salt,
a little bit of white rice,
steamed cream dory fish ,
canned tuna,
high fiber bread
and laxative tea before sleeping (still wondering if laxatives work),
and I drink lots of water,
no juice and sodas.

(I mix them up, I don’t eat all of these per day. :D )

Counting calories is not really my thing. I usually cook my food at home and most of those food have no calorie/ingredient labels whatsoever.

Will my exercise and new eating style work if I continue doing this everyday until June? Is losing 15 pounds possible?

good night poem – read at your own risk and – please c/c?

the following comes with a warning label

*please read with caution*

detonator set to go
she climbed into position
in her tiny space ship bed
with lady like precision
above her head there was a buzz
as bees were gathering honey
and the birds were settling in
their nests … as it was almost sunset
and what she found out wasn’t much
more than the feel of a soft touch
tomorrow she would feel the dream
of what transpired …
with the birds and beeze
as she idly caught her breath and
sneezed
he wheezed beside her in the bed
had squeezed in there and hungry
fed upon her flesh
and fresh her blush had left
as tones of hush hush hush
…. cried herself to sleep
and woke and found herself
alone and broken…

words of love were never spoken
so she bowed her head and went
to work to find another shed to hide in
with her space ship bed…
while the beez buzzed loudly
in her head….
and bats kept time with wings aflap
she strapped in
to take a nap

…. tbc
in another lifetime

(thank goodness for small blessings)

Healthy Body = Functional Body. Hollywood Look Side Effect: Healthy Function

My Grandparents chose to love each other when they met as teenagers, and then, they chose to love each other every part of every day, through the Great Depression, through absence during war, child rearing, work, illnesses… Life. Finding TRUE love? They met… And That was it. Again, the true love part was a daily choice whether either was as attractive or as exciting as the day they met. True love depends on each person, not just the one you find or the one that finds you. In other words, Love is a Choice, because we are not 110% lovable 24 hours a day. True love is when each person sees that real life is not like a romance movie script True love is accepting the fact of real life, which brings creative challenges that, with the choice to love, can increase attraction. Popular novels, songs, shows, movies… Each have scripts that are no doubt, inspired. The talented people that write and act, the hundreds or thousands of people that are the list of credits at the end of a movie – from the accountants to the doctors to the musicians and screenwriters – They work on projects that, as finished masterpieces, may often have coincidental similarities to your definition of romance and the most often undefined and over-used phrase… “true love” Again, the credits behind movies, books, shows and songs… include a lot of people. Why, because such productions are intentionally crafted to touch our deepest self. So, they are edited for perfection, music and effects and colors
