The answer depends on why you are asking.
It is important because if you put in too much it will be too stiff and the starch will be overpowering. (Imagine choclate pudding with too much corn starch - it won't have that nice mouth feel, it will be too solid and the flavor won't come through as clearly.) The consistency will be greatly affected depending on how much or how little you use, and also the flavor.
Starch is carbohydrates and calories. A cup of flour is 400 calories, so 2 Tablespoons would be 50 calories . . . I think. The more flour you use to thicken something, the more calories and carbohydrates. That affects the nutrition. And generally the more flour, the more oil which also greatly affects the nutrition.

What happens when iodine is added to cheese?
When iodine is added to cheese, it can react with the starches present in the cheese to form a blue or purple color. This reaction is known as the iodine-starch complex formation test. The intensity of the color change can indicate the amount of starch present in the cheese. This test is commonly used in food science to detect the presence of starch in various food products.
Does reheating food destroy resistant starch?
Yes, reheating food can destroy resistant starch. Resistant starch is a type of starch that resists digestion in the small intestine and can provide health benefits. When food is reheated, the structure of resistant starch can be altered, reducing its resistant properties.
