    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?

    Yup. Sounds like you have it all figured out. lol

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

    Do you think you could get a grant to develop a negative calorie system we could market? :happy:
