Ohhhhh gawd

Apples, celery, grapefruit, whatever, are NOT "negative calorie foods" They DONT magically make you not absorb calories or burn more fat or count as exercise for digesting them. OMG. Seriously? Calories are calories!!!! Anybody with me?

Anything at 0 cals actually is negative as u burn chewing them

Anything at 0 cals actually is negative as u burn chewing them

But what FOOD is at 0 calories? Apples, celery, others all have calories, and while they may come close to counteracting each other, chewing isn't usually enough to burn them all off.

I don't think chewing is the strong side of most humans considering all the digestion problems and the magical ability to consume a whole meal in a matter of minutes.

Oh, and sugar free chewing gums are not 0 cals. And since climbing a stair is around a burn of 0.1 cals... Have fun chewing.

snort. well played.

The whole digestion process burns calories too. But really who cares? If people want to believe this or agree with you, a post like this is not going to change their mind.

"Celery is a vegetable that can be added to salads, recipes or eaten by itself as a low-calorie snack. Cooked or served fresh, the veggie contains many health benefits.

Calories, Fat and Cholesterol
One cup of chopped celery contains 20 calories and no fat. The vegetable contains no cholesterol and, therefore, is a heart-friendly snack."

:laugh: Chopping/not chopping something does not remove calories. Where did you come up with that?

Following a cursory internet search I found nothing saying celery was 0 calories... 17 was one count given for a cup chopped, 14 for another... MFP actually says 14 cal. as well so I'm afraid you're incorrect. I wanted you to be right for the sake of all the hopefuls out there...

The coke will definitely help your metabolism! :laugh: And that was three points...

I'm guessing that by not chopping the stalks, you burn more calories chewing... But what if you chop vigorously enough?

Still not negative though. I could never chew that enthusiastically... unless I wanted to accidentally eat my cheeks and then I'd go over on calories! :noway:

Haha! I'd risk biting my tongue off. Loads of fat and cholesterol right there.

Off the top of my head pickles have no calories so I guess a cucumber wouldn't either.. ice berg lettuce... theres acutal a pretty long list of foods with out calories in them. It's rather shocking what you find when you do RESEARCH... and yes at 0 calories intake the chewing, and processing turn food into waste turns into (spoiler alert) negative calories! You ready for a really big shocker? Drinking what just about freezing temp actually burns 8 calories per 8oz drank because the stomach has to super heat itself to warm up the water before it can begin to digest it! EEEEEP!!!!

Research research research.

Don't scold people about doing research when you couldn't be bothered to look up calories on MFP!! Pickles are 5 cal, iceberg lettuce is 16 for 2 oz., and cucumbers are 16 for a chopped cup. I am fully aware of the processes that burn calories... that doesn't mean they themselves are calorie-free.

Actually, pickles do have calories. One cup of sliced/chopped cucumber, dill, or kosher dill pickle has 17 calories. Iceberg lettuce also has calories. One cup contains 10.
