Do toasted foods have less calories than non-toasted?

No, they don't contradict each other. The entries for toasted bread and untoasted bread should display the same number of calories; the issue comes in when you log 50g of toasted (therefore lighter) bread as 50g of untoasted (therefore heavier) bread. Once the water has evaporated you still have the same amount of bread per slice at a lighter weight, and thus logging it as the same weight untoasted means you're eating more bread (because it's lighter) but logging the same calories.

ETA: What I mean is, a 50g slice of untoasted bread will become maybe 42g after toasting. If you're logging by weight (as you should be) and you don't use the entry for toasted bread -- logging it as 42g untoasted -- you're actually eating the calories in the original 50g and your diary is inaccurate.

This is the same reason you shouldn't log 6oz of cooked chicken as 6oz of raw chicken, or 45g of dry quinoa as cooked quinoa.
