Calorie counting already takes this into consideration. When we say '100g of raw tomato has X calories' we are talking of what your body gets out of it when you eat it, not the calories theoretically in the tomato.

"not the calories theoretically in the tomato."

There goes my plan to weigh the tomato and multiply by the c^2.
