    Not to mention, celery is freaking disgusting. Simply don't eat it... then you have your zero calories.

    It is a myth, but it is extremely low calorie. But, by the time you clean it, chew it and digest it, the calories absorbed but not burned probably is pretty close to zero.

    2 bits of celery is around 7 calories depending on size. I buy it already cut and washed ready to eat.

    Celery's only purpose is to serve as a vessel for peanut butter or nutella

    Don't forget the raisins. You can't have ants on a log without the ants.

    But I like it plain too. Another one of those I hated as a kid and now love.

    I'm with you. The only way I can eat celery is if it's chopped up in a soup or something.

    Cream cheese is also good on it, but I also like it plain. It's a staple in most of my soups, stews, stir fries and such as well.

    see if YOU cut and washed it you would burn the 7 calories that it consists of ;)

    Well, if you're desperate to eat something, anything, just as long as you get something to eat, celery is not 0 calories but is definitely low. :P

    I'm obsessed with celery and dip. I buy a giant bag of celery and eat 6-10 stalks with dip. NOM NOM

    I concur. Its so rank that I don't think it should even be classed as a food.
