Well, usually no one worries about "stake" calories... termites might, but people don't usually because the wood can be hard on our teeth. The only real application I think that applies is in the rare case of half-staked vampires. I am not sure whether you knew that this is a common malady in the vampire world. Some incompetent vampire hunter comes along, tries to stake the vampire, and basically leaves a sharp, pointy stick (the stake referenced earlier) in the vampire's body. Depending on how close it got to the heart, and whether movement is restricted, this can often be a very bad thing for the vampire. If it is not removed immediately, often blood poisoning sets in (which is the worst thing that can really happen to a vampire), and since movement is often restricted, it is hard for the vampire to do a self-transfusion (which is the politically correct way to refer to what other, less sensitive, people might term "feeding"). Calories transferred from the stake, mostly plant fiber but sometimes animal as well (we see this a lot when stakes are carelessly left around outside meat-packing plants) can also kick-start the long-dormant digestive system, resulting in few (but horrific) cases of vampire starvation... not only of blood, which is bad enough, but also now, due to the newly-triggered need, of plant and animal fiber. For an immortal being, this dual hunger and the inability to satisfy either can often drive the vampire insane. I would say in this case that the question is not "how many" calories in a stake... but how can we prevent this tragedy from happening in the future?

"Steak" (meat meal, usually a slab of cow) calories can be found in the related question with that spelling as well as on the website in the related link below.
