Changing To A Raw Food Diet

Will there always be less calories in raw food?

I’ve read that e.g. carrots gain cal. when cooked. Is it like that with food in general, like veggies, flour in bread, meat, pasta, rice etc?
but a boiled carrot loosing sugar and salt, wouldn’t that be less cal. then after cooking than before? Merry xmas!
Hm, who would know the answer to that..

Your question is an interesting one.

An educated guess tells me that it might be true that a boiled carrot might contain more calories than a fresh one compared weight/ calories as the carrot may lose some of its weight when boiled, some of the salts and the sugar might have gone out into the boiling water too at the same time.

But the carrot might be easier to digest as boiled than to be eaten directly from the fields.

How much more calories do you have to use to digest a raw carrot compared to a boiled one?
It is a tricky question, isn’t it? .
