probably the calorie density is going up, or less likely the drying process is making more of the calories available to human digestion

Posts about mental health should go in [email protected] you are loved here :meow-hug: but !mentalhealth is much better equipped to help you out <3.
Mostly calorie density - the first chart gives all values as per 100g.
heat makes more nutrients bioavailable
so protein and calories and vitamins and such can be absorbed instead of going through you
the same stuff is in raw but not used by the body and comes out in waste
Waste means poop!
Ah, thanks. Seems I may need to be careful on my dry cucumber snacking.
You get like 15 dried cucumbers which now weigh like 10 fresh ones
They're infused with fire magic so the stamina regen buff lasts longer
They don't increase in calories, they just have higher energy density. 15 convection dried vegetables will have the same (or less) amount of calories as if they weren't
If you freeze 10 stones, they will increase in volume (because water ice expands when it gets colder) and have a lower density. If you then remove all the water from those stones, they will decrease in volume and increase in density, so you can fit more stone in the same area
