What Are Negative Calorie Foods?

Negative Calorie Foods are Not Foods That Have Less Then Zero Calories

Actually, negative calorie foods do have calories. The reason that certain foods are considered negative calories is because it takes more calories for your body to break them down. Thus you are burning more calories then you just took in. Celery is one of the better known negative calorie foods.
