    The only negative calorie foods are waffles and pickles.

    I just thought it was important to learn something in this thread.

    So, basically, it was the 19th century version of "I'd like some of what you're smoking"?

    a pickel is supposed to have zero calories.

    pushing it through your system might net out to less then zero calories.

    i wouldn't expect the exercise from eating pickles to amount to much weight loss tho ;)

    Dude, there's a food calorie database right on this website. Try looking things up before you say things. A medium dill pickle has 12 calories. That's not very many, but still a lot more than zero.

    And we all know that the MFP dbase has pristine accuracy.

    A negative-calorie food would be a food that required more food energy to be digested than it provided. That is, its thermic effect – the caloric "cost" of digesting the food – would be greater than its food energy content. The thermic effect is scientifically called specific dynamic action. While this concept is popular in dieting guides, there is no scientific evidence supporting the idea that any food is a negative-calorie food.

    Negative calorie vegetables: Aubergine, Asparagus, Broccoli, Cabbage, Carrots, Cauliflower, Celery, Chicory, Cress, Cucumber, Fennel, Gourd, Leek, Lettuce, Marrow,Peppers, Radish, Spinach,Tomato, Turnip, etc.
    Negative calorie fruits: Apricot, Blackberry Blackcurrant, Clementines, Damsons, Grapefruit, Guava, Honeydew Melon, Lemon, Mandarin orange, Melon Cantaloupe, Peaches, Plums, Raspberry, Rhubarb, Strawberry, Tangerine, Watermelon

    If these foods have negative calories, then do they also not contribute towards your macros and micros for the day? These foods contain carbs, protein, sugar, vitamins, fiber, and sodium.

    Why would you log some food, but not others?

    It's evident that very few people read my post in its entirety. I DID state that I record them, I record everything, it was just a question.

    so you want to know how to make the calories that you think are negative, but show up a positive, a negative in your food log? Got ya....

    No to all of the above especially all of the listed fruits. If you eat enough of any of those foods, you'd gain weight. They are not negative calorie foods.

    Hmmm.... maybe not. If you ate enough of some of those foods to actually gain weight, you might poop yourself to death. Just sayin.

    I vote corn.

    if it comes out looking about the same as when I ate it- I'm going with a none food.

    But I still count it. :drinker:

    Everything you eat has calories. Everything.

    Even celery. I mean, I put in some cabbage and it was only 9 calories. I could say that's nothing, but since I'm doing this, I have to include it.

    No, just no. If you want to be successful at weight loss, log every single bite you eat!!! No no no. And one more time NO.
