This thread is not nearly as amusing as the Morning Wood thread, and it will not greatly enhance your earning potential, but it has me bugged.
Why do calorie charts indicate that bread contains more calories after being toasted?
Does toasting introduce some error into the method used to measure caloric content? Shouldn’t partially oxidizing (toasting) the bread REDUCE the caloric content?
I understand digesting food requires some calories and that number is decreased if the food is cooked (or toast)… but you are right… I am more interested in knowing about the 5 o’clock wood and what can be done about it…
Depends on how the charts are expressing the calorie content.
Toasting bread by partially oxidizing the outer millimeter or so has very little effect on its calorie content. A slice of dry toast will have the same number of calories as the slice of bread from which it was made.
OTOH, toasting the bread can drive off quite a bit of water (as much as 60%, in the case of toasting very slowly for a very long time – which is, incidentally, is not how most home toasters work). So, a pound of dry toast will have more calories than a pound of bread, because the bread has more zero-calorie water in it (and, of course, you have to start with more than a pound of bread to get a pound of toast).
Yeah, what Akatsukami said.

Simple; don’t get up until 6 
I think he meant he’s already up at 5.
