What happens to fiber if I cook or blend my veggies?

Some nutrients get lost when you cook or blend food. In this episode, we discuss what happens to fiber when cooked.
Here's Diana's video on spinach: • What happens to fiber ...

I understand the concept of being able to take in more fiber if one eats 6 cups of cooked spinach vs 1 cup of raw spinach. The difference in caloric intake between 6 cups of spinach vs 1 cup is minimal.
But extending this logic to higher caloric foods like fruit can be problematic. Blending 3 whole fruits results in far more calories compared to eating 1 whole raw fruit. I know the “Full Plate” method of eating more fiber to lose weight doesn’t rely on counting calories, but calories DO count.
In general, I think the following maxim is more effective: “As much as possible, don’t drink your calories.”

Annoying, because the question clearly states they only added minimal fruit for flavour - they were more concerned with blending veg. But she answered as if she was making a fruit smoothie, which of course comes with the calorie/sugar implication.

What happens to fiber when you freeze dry veggies? Almost everything freeze dried can be crumbled easily.
