Cooked pears with liquid vs raw pears calories
When I choose 4 half pears cooked, unsweetened with liquids the calories is 88.16. (NCCDB) But 2 medium pears uncooked are 202.92. (NCCDB) Even 2 small raw pears is 168 calories. I don't get the discrepancy.
I'm trying to gain weight so I'm needing to get as many calories as I can.

Hi Butterfly,
With liquid (water) the calories are diluted compared with a raw pear. Seems like cooking in liquid reduces the calories, carbs and protein by about half and the fat content, while low to begin with goes down even more.

Hi Karen,
Thank you for explaining that. I didn’t realize cooking foods could reduce their calorie levels. I’ll keep that in mind.
Cheers🙂
