is it true that celery takes more calries to chew or digest than there are in the celery itself?

Question

are there any other foods that have "negative calories"?

Answer 1

This is from the page below:
The phrase "negative food calories" seems to be causing some confusion as it suggests there are foods that possess no calories at all. All food contains some energy because they include carbs, protein or fats in varying amounts and all these macronutrients are energy sources.

The negative calorie phrase refers to a small list of foods which contain so little energy that the body uses more energy to digest and absorb the nutrients. If this was the effect then it means there would be a net loss of calories from the body resulting in a negative energy balance which is required in order to lose weight.

There is much controversy about the negative calorie diet and some experts believe it to be total rubbish, the amount of energy used may be relative to the amount and complexity of the meal ingested. However, if negative calorie foods help people consume less calories AND eat healthier foods then we believe it can be a positive start to permanent weight loss!
