an 8-inch stalk of celery contains approximately 6 calories. But the mere act of digesting said stalk burns more than 6 calories, resulting in a negative caloric intake.

The calories you use to wash, cut and eat the celery exceed the number of calories in the celery.

a food having negative calories basically means they have very little calories...and the effort that it takes u to chew and eat and digest that food requires more calories than the celery can provide.
EX:
celery (10 calories each stick)
chewing,digesting energy (20 calories each stick)
so u lose 10 calories everytime u eat a stick

Negative calorie foods are unfortunately a myth. There are no "negative" calorie foods where your body spends more calories processing the food than the calories you get from it. It would be great for weight loss if it were true.
