I learned that eating celery results in negative calories. Not that it’s anything substantial, it’s like 7 or something like that.

According to Snopes, the web bible of urban myth busting/verification, celery contains 6 calories per 8 inch stalk. Seeing as so much of it is just water, it makes sense. Basically, your body expends more energy digesting the celery than the celery contains. And no, it’s not from heavily exerted chewing either.

Anyway, I still like it and it’s good for pooping, as I said in the other post.
