Does it matter how long you cook food for?

I know this sounds daft, but as the question asks - if I cook say, a chicken breast for 30minutes so it goes much smaller than normal, does it affect the nutritional content of it? Especially, the protein/amino bit?

[novastepp]

no, not unless you burn it..

macros doesnt get effected to any great degree. But most vitamins goes to shit. But that is only a concern when cooking veggies.

Protein sources only aren't effected, though?

I.e. a juicy bloody steak is the same as a sizzled dried up well done one?

yes. Unless you burn the steak like novastep said.

When you cook a food its mostly water that goes away.
