    There is no such thing as a negative calorie food. Everything has calories, even diet soda, even splenda. Sorry, sad but true. Log everything, and don't assume you can eat a ton of something because you "burn more calories eating it than it has".
    It doesn't work that way.

    Yep. Unless it's water, it has calories.

    It's true that there are certain foods that do burn more calories from being eaten and digested than they provide, but they also don't have much nutrition. Things like onions, celery, cucumber, lettuce and some others are great for snacks but they don't have the nutritional value to eat as an entire meal.
