Negative Calorie foods

Thomasm198

People keep claiming that celery is a negative calorie food and that it burns more calories eating it than there is in the stick of celery.

In the food database it says that a Big Mac, Fries and Diet Coke is 920 calories.
Celery is supposed to use 85 calories to eat but only contains 75. That means it burns 10 calories more than is in it.

My question is:
If I eat enough celery along with a Big Mac, Fries and Diet Coke will the negative calorie value of the celery cancel out the McDonalds leaving me with a balance of 0 calories?

firstly, I don't believe in the negative calories

secondly, you'd get sick!

The math major in me says it would work in theory, but my tummy says, "OW!"

Absolutely! But having the diet coke with it negates ALL the calories, of course.

If you supersize the diet coke it also negates the previous days calories.

you are for getting the inverse law of digestion. you would have to eat the big mac anally.

I did NOT know this. MFP is such a wealth of knowledge! All completely and totally accurate.

Yes!!

And also be sure to log the eating as weight lifting... and walking in to and out of the restaurant as well as the act of ordering, thinking and getting your wallet out to pay.

All of this will result in a McDonald's feast having negative calories.

This is how I manage to eat a case of twinkies every week. You just have to be creative!

Yes, it may seem icky, but you just have to accept the fact that somethings in life may be a bit uncomfortable.
If you want to lose weight, eating forbidden foods this way is the only sure thing to help you reach your caloric goals.
Trust me, I thought about becoming a nutritionist once, so I pretty much know everything.

If you eat enough celery that it causes you to regurgitate the McDonald's meal, you're in business, mister!

And if your celery is ice cold you will burn even more Calories.

or else the tapeworm in the burger will digest all your fat for you :laugh:

Can I just use celery salt on my fries for the same effect?
