With all my recommendations about eating low calorie celery, I did not eat any at dinner tonight! I did not want to go over 1300 calories for my "Cut Calories to the Curb" challenge. Since I was not sure how many calories I had already eaten today, I told myself that I will go to the computer and log my food and then go get my celery, if there are any calories remaining. After I totaled my calories and it was 1233, I decided it was dangerous to walk back to the kitchen. ;)

By the time you finish chewing your celery, you will probably burn off more calories than is actually in the celery, lol!

Celery is definitely a win for wanting to chew and snack .. if you can get in & out of the kitchen safely with that and only that. The majority of energy that celery has locked within it passes through our digestive system without being processed. The cellulose calories celery has is irrelevant; all that counts is the six or so food calories we can get from each eight-inch stalk. Since it takes more than six food calories of energy to digest the celery, the net result is that digesting celery does, in fact, exhaust calories. In a very real sense, celery is a "negative calorie" food.

Bella, thanks for the celery info! I think of celery, baby carrots and even radishes (if not too hot) as my medicine. I eat them to be healthy, and I think they keep me from being hungry. Fiber is my friend. :)

My problem isn't the celery... It's the JIF whipped peanut butter spread I keeping dipping it in.

I love low calorie pickles but they are too high in sodium for me! I did give up peanut butter and peanuts because of the calories, but I buy the peanut powder (PB2) which has 85% less fat than regular peanut butter. You mix it with hot water to get the consistency you like or add it to recipes as a flavoring.
