Anna Asked:

Negative caloric value for food

I've been told that some food types have a negative caloric value, which means it takes more energy from the body to digest the food than the energy it earns. Does anyone know which type are they?

Scaramouche Answered:

Those would be vegetables like celery or kohlrabi. Most vegetables are hard to digest therefore when being digested burn a lot of calories, sometimes even more then the body gains for it at the first place.
