Question: What are some "negative" calorie foods other than celery!?
Answers:

Myth: Celery is negative calories!.
Truth: It is true that celery has almost no calories!. A medium stalk contains all of 6 calories!. It’s also pretty good for you in that a large stalk has about a gram of fiber and is high in calcium and trace minerals!. Interestingly, celery is also fairly high in sodium for a vegetable at 50 mg for a large stalk!.

The theory that many people put forward is that your body uses more than 6 calories chewing and digesting the celery!. There are actually books written about this but, unfortunately, there’s no research to support the claim!.

The body uses between 10 and 15% of the calories you consume for the total process of digestion!. In someone consuming 1,500 calories per day that’s 225 calories in 24 hours!. It takes the same 225 calories for digestion whether you eat 1,500 calories per day in celery or in bread!. The difference is that you would have to eat 250 stalks of celery per day to eat 1,500 calories as opposed to about 15 slices of bread!.

What are negative calorie foods!?
No foods have negative calories!. The lowest calorie food is water at zero calories
Some foods have low calories, but it takes higher number of calories for the digestive system to break it down in to energy!. The net impact is no calories to gain weight but may use up extra calories during digestion!. The impact is net negative calories
The best example is celery!. An 8" celery stalk has 6 calories, but it takes 12 calories to digest the stalk, so net impact is minus six calories
Negative calorie foods are eaten snacks to satiate hunger without adding net calories to your diet!. Most of the raw fruits and vegetables are negative calorie foods!. Popular negative calorie foods are as follows

Apples
