    Water is the only 0 calorie food.

    Here is a list of no calorie foods that I think is pretty accurate. As well as the explanation.

    If you google negative calorie foods you will find a list of foods that take more calories to digest them than they contain. So technically they aren't no calorie, they just give you a deficit when you eat them. Celery is the only one I remember off hand.

    Nope. That's broscience. Food does not give you a deficit when you eat them. ;)

    To build on the topic, the reason why some of these foods have been termed "zero calorie foods" is because most of them are calculated by including the calories for both the digestion process and the calories you burn for simply existing (i.e. breathing, pumping blood throughout your body, etc.) These are calories you would burn without eating the "zero calorie food" so it is a bit misleading to count them. That said, pretty much all of the items on the "zero calorie food" list are mostly water and would fill you up pretty quickly. Since there is little sustenance provided from these foods, you probably will not stay full for very long. However, it would be really hard to put on (or maintain) weight by just eating these foods. Unless you really love celery and can consume the 125 cups of it needed to equal 2000 calories!

    The thing is, even taking those calorie burns into account, you still don't burn nearly enough calories while digesting them to cancel out the calories from the food.

    This.

    Everything but water has calories. Eat low carb vegetables like celery, cucumbers, lettuce, tomatoes for low calories.

    I loved reading this. THANK YOU! I wish all the stupid non-sensical diet myths would just go away, but then again, I don't think that wrong ideas should be censored. There just needs to be better education. I'm sad for how many people fall for this nonsense.
