Just pulled this up on Google.
Don't shun me if it's not accurate.
I haven't even looked at the list. I'm going to look at it after I post this. Just thought I'd share with everyone.

    Isn't "zero calorie food" kind of an oxymoron?

    I think it's more of a Next-To-Zero calorie list, honestly.

    Some obvious ones (celery, tomato, cucumber, asparagus etc) which have really low calorie counts.

    And some genuine zero cal things like green tea and water.

    But the list also iincludes fruits such as apples, oranges, watermelon and apricot. These are really not negligible caloires, plus the sugar in them is pretty high.

    Oh no, sugar from fruit, I might die.

    I think it's more a point of how many calories are in the food vs how many calories your body burns digesting it. Like an apple takes 80-100 calories to digest. There are actually diets built around eating foods that take more calories to digest than are contained in them.

    I didn't say the sugar in fruit was a bad thing, I just said that it's there. Some people need to watch this aspect more than others, it's not something that can be just discounted.

    Plus the calories used in digesting food is already in your daily BMR.

    Fruits don't have sugar, it's a myth!

    Summary for those who can't/didn't look: Vegetables, fruits, seaweed are low calorie foods with nutrients.
    Protip: Water and green tea are not foods.

    These diets are completely inaccurate. Do not believe in negative calorie crap

    So log it as 1440 minutes of circuit training. MFP says I'll burn over 11,000 calories.

    I agree. There is a fine line between being sarcastic and being a prick.
