You should give some of the baked goods to me, and then there will be fewer calories for you!
Well, my days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Anybody got a spare basement or root cellar?
Hell, I've got an entire bay just out the door. Throw 'em in!

If I am trying to determine calories for a baked good I made, can I just enter all of the ingrediants separately, or does baking alter caloric info?
I've wondered that myself, msbelle--if I put in a cup of flour and a cup of sugar and a stick of butter, divided by the number of cookies it makes, is that a calorie count? Or does the baking magically make them different? (I mean, I suppose it *could*, calories are energy, baking is heat...right?)

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Another hivemind question: Does anyone know ergonomically speaking, where your monitor should be relative to your eye level? My eye doctor told me to make sure my monitor was below eye level, so I moved it. I can tell that's going to help a lot vision wise, but now I feel like looking down at the monitor is going to hurt my neck.

but, but, -- calories can be neither created or destroyed right? It would have to convert into something? Or does that theory only apply to matter?

Well, they're a measurement of energy. So if you burn up the cookie (which, isn't that how they measure calories?), you're measuring how much energy it takes, or something? I dunno. It's been a LOOOOONG time since college science classes....
I figure it probably does work out the whole flour plus sugar plus butter equals total calories. But I want reassurance!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Calories are a measure of potential energy, so they could theoretically be released as heat during the baking process. But I doubt the difference is enough to matter nutritionally.

But when baking, you apply heat, right?
eh, what do I know?

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I'm guessing it doesn't make much difference.
