Calories in boiling versus stewing

Is there any real difference in the calorie count between boiling and stewing? I like to boil chicken legs, and use the meat only for salads, noshes, etc. But it often tastes so bland. If I stew the legs in a small amount of broth, would the calorie count dramatically increase?

    I don't think the calorie count would change that much. You get more salt.

    Stewing meat shouldn't change the calories much at all unless maybe your broth has a lot of fat in it.

    off the subject, i love the rotisserie chicken at sams club. less than 5 bucks and lots of food. i'm sure it has some bad fat added, but

    I wouldn't think there would any/much fat added to a rotisserie chicken. The skin should have all the fat needed to keep it moist.
