How to understand negative caloric foods.

I heard 120.

Isn’t celery a negative caloric food?

@toomuchcoffee911 Yes, celery has negative calories.
@jackley I didn’t know pineapple was one. Yay! =]

Yea but i need a list of how many calorie it takes to digest like n apple

An apple is not a negative calorie food. For the few foods that are negative calorie the amount is very small. The loss is due to the energy used in chewing not digestion because they are mostly poorly digested cellulose. Say a stalk of celery is -10 calories, you would have to eat 350 stalks a week in order to lose a lb. Imagine trying to pass 350 stalks of celery!

So those Pringles I just ate??? Hummmm, truckload of celery? Rats, I’ll just drink a dite Coke & call it even.

In that article it says iced diet cola is negative because it takes a few calories to warm it up to body temperature, so if you drink a few 6-packs you can have a Pringle and break even.

Ice water is another “negative” calorie food (well water isn’t food, but you get where I’m going). Your body expends energy to raise that water to its temperature, not by choice, but simply by physics – the cold water steals your stomach’s warmth – so by drinking ice water, you force your body to exert a minuscule amount of energy. But these energy amounts are so minuscule that even if you extrapolate it out to a lifetime of drinking only ice water and eating only celery, it wouldn’t make much of a difference (well, you’d die since celery does not have all the nutrients you need).

There is no definitive list of the number of calories required to digest an object, because it varies depending on a lot of factors including your metabolism, your eating habits, and your health.

I’ve also heard that storing your Oreos on top of the refigerator helps. Calories are afraid of heights and will jump out, thus making them calorie-free! Hey, anything that makes you feel better while eating them!!

And if you eat standing the calories won’t settle around your waist or hips. I have proven this to be true but I have 30” ankles.
