Lets say one slice of cheese melted vs on slice of unmelted? Is it more fattening if you eat the melted? I know this sounds lame but I always feel fuller after eating melted...

I wouldnt think that there is a difference, but check one of your cookbooks. Usually on the bottom of a recipe it says how many calories it is....you would be suprised how many cookbooks actually tell you how to make a grill cheese!!!

Listen, people aren't thinking this through. Melt the cheese in a bowl; POUR AWAY THE FAT THAT COLLECTS ON THE TOP. Yes, there is still fat in the cheese, and it's not possible to pour away all of the fat, but pour away what you can, and there will be easily one, maybe two tablespoons that you can pour away. Take a paper towel, and blot some away as well. Then, put in on toast, or between bread, or eat it like that. Who cares? OK, the calorie count won't change dramatically, and you need to be careful that you don't go mad with it. Also, all of this is undone if you melt the cheese over something-it will just absorb the fat. Melt first, then add, after pouring the fat away.

I'd say that melted cheese can be more fattening because if you have the melted cheese and say cook it under a grill for cheese on toast, the residue of previous fatty foods that may have been cooked there could, in my opinion end up dropping on to the cheese. Hence extra fat.

Depends. Are you melting it over a pound of Lard or a sandwitch. Either way they're the same. Melted or unmelted. Why are you eating just melted cheese anyway??? Put two peices of bread around it and have breakfast!

It's about the same.
If you think about it, calories can't be MADE by heating something up so actually it HAS to be the same.
Of course, some of the fat might dribble off whatever you melted the cheese on, so perhaps you actually consume a few LESS calories by melting the cheese!

It will actually be less fattening because some of the fat will melt away when it cooks. It's like cooking meat. When the juices run off the meat becomes leaner.

There's no difference...but melted cheese tastes better...so if you're going to have all those calories...they might as well taste good!

nope, when you melt the cheese the fat comes out, but if you dont melt it, the fat comes out in your belly, so at least if you melt it, you can wipe the fat off

They will come.
No, try low fat cheese

Cheese is cheese. It doesn't matter if it's melted or not.
