    So, let's say you went balls to the walls crazy and ate a whole package of celery in a fit of snacking rage.... 1 pound of celery (diced into about ½ in pieces) equals 4 ½ cups.

    Congratulations - you've just eaten less than 70 calories. I think you burn that by blinking.

    This is ridiculous.

    My thoughts exactly. One whole cup of celery is a LOT of celery. And 14 calories is practically nothing in the grand scheme of things. Saying celery is too many calories to have a snack is sounding quite ridiculous to me right now.

    Celery is only a delivery system for peanut butter anyway : )

    Yes, celery has calories, but it takes more calories for your body to digest it then you get from it. Hence it is a negative calorie food. But I agree that the best way to have celery is with peanut butter... or hummus!
