Does melted cheese have more calories?

Melted cheese may seem fatter, but is it really unhealthier than a regular slice of cheese?

Putting a slice of cheese on bread is just as healthy or unhealthy as it is when making a sandwich. The number of calories does not change. We will then assume the same type and amount of cheese.

When you heat foods, the texture changes, but calories can't just be added. What is possible is that a product absorbs moisture and therefore changes the number of calories per 100 grams. Take couscous, for example:100 grams of couscous from the package has a different calorie value than 100 grams of prepared couscous.
