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.

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.

please don't use blanket statements...

according to the Nalley website, their pickles are 0 calories:

on the other hand the jar of Carnegie pickles in my fridge right now say one spear is 20 calories
(I can't find the nutrition info on their website).

Also, I wouldn't trust most of the nutrition info on this website...I've found a LOT of it was wrong.

If you would have read what I posted, you would have seen that I provided a link as to where I got my information from, which was, in fact, not this website. Also, it is not a blanket statement, as nothing can be done to a food to reduce the number of calories it has. Cucumbers have calories. Pickles are cucumbers.The process of pickling a cucumber does not remove the calories. However, the serving size can be so small that it is shown on the label as containing zero calories. When food companies label their products, they are only required to be within 20% of the actual calorie amount. Therefore, they could be overestimating or underestimating. The reason I researched it was because there are some brands of pickles which claim to have zero calories, when in actuality, they do not.

Theories/Speculation

Although eating negative calorie foods sounds like a grand plan, there has been no solid research done to prove or disprove the theory. But one thing is for certain; all of the negative calorie foods are nutritious and should be added to the diet if you are trying to clean up your eating habits.
