What causes the difference

In these two examples, the changes are: additions — lemon juice → butter, cooking method — grilled → deep-fried.

Additions: Lemon juice → ButterPrepared vegetables: grilled → Deep-fried
  • The vegetables are the same, but pan-fried eggplant and zucchini retain far more oil than the grilled versions at 65–80 kcal per 100 g, roughly doubling the total.
  • Lemon and parsley add very little. A tablespoon of butter and parmesan add more calories than the grilled vegetables themselves.
  • The glossy surface is a visible clue that the fried vegetables retained oil.
