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
