Some studies suggest drinking green tea will increase metabolism, so perhaps whomever entered in that drink into the database took that into consideration.

Some food are like that -- celery, for example, actually COSTS your body calories to digest i.e. it takes your body more calories to digest it than it receives from the food.0 -

There are actually a lot of foods with negative calories. That's why raw foods are so essential to losing weight. As for green tea being a full -78, though... it seems like a lot. But it is really good for boosting your metabolism and is definitely 0 cal.0

The program on food network (I forget the name, but it's like food science; they test food myths) says that raw celery has negative calories, assuming you don't dip it in anything or slather anything on it. The reason is that it has only a few calories, and the energy you spend chewing it and digesting the fiber in it makes it negative calories. (-3 kcal, or something :bigsmile: ) I eat mine with peanut butter, so it doesn't work for me though.0
