    No....it has the same calories as untoasted.

    Technically, and scientifically, the calories would be less if the temperature of the toaster was high enough to toast it both internally as well as the surface.  Such as incineration type of burning.  This however would result in a food that few would even eat.  Normal toasting may burn off some of the surface carbohydrates, and dry out the surface (so the calories actually become greater on a weight basis, as less water will remain).  Also, other nutrients which also have calories, amino acids actually are more digestible after toasting, so there may be a net gain in actual calories with simple (normal) toasting!
