Negative Calories?!?

Celery has negative calories! It takes more calories to eat a piece of celery than the celery has in it to begin with.
One stock of celery has about six calories. If you munch on three stocks of celery, you've consumed 18 calories. Digesting that celery is likely to cost more than 18 calories -- perhaps 25 -- potentially leaving you with a seven-calorie loss. While it's true that every calorie adds up, it's not going to have much of an effect overall. In fact, you'd probably burn more calories going for a walk around the block after a meal.

Unless, the only time you eat celery is with a giant plate of hot wings!!!
