Apples a negative calorie food?

[AlwaysTryin]

wow guys. I know apples don't litterally have -100 calories or whatever. I read that like other foods it burns more calories to digest than in the apple.

Nope, no such things. You will always gain weight

[jnycs]

A lesser known story from history is that Johnny Appleseed starved to death from eating too many apples.

lol.

Seriously, didn't you learn anything in grade school OP?

[NaLLa8705]

You eat the stems and seeds? :P

I cut my apples into pieces... Gets too sticky biting into them. I weight only what I eat :P

There was a guy who tried the apple diet and ended up nearly starving himself to death. No matter how much he ate it took more calories to digest the apples than they contained and his condition worsened. Those delicious apples were literally sucking the calories right out of his body. So he was loading up on vitamins and minerals from the apples but losing calories in the process.


Believe it... or not...

Dean Cain? that you?

Who the hell would do that?

me. you know they sell supps that are specifically just apple fiber/pectin

[Christiffer]

I once read an article on "negative cal food". They stated that to get close to a negative affect the amount of said food ingested would have to be unrealistically large. I never bout it though. 1 apple or 20 apples, just because it's 20x the volume shouldn't make a difference. It's 20x the calories. Any other perspective on this...?

[womanoid]

OP, please consider bulking instead of cutting. srs

[AnnieOlson]

Note, if it's something you'd find on a pro-ana site, it's probably not worth believing. The only place I ever read about 'negative calories' was on a pro-ana forum when I was a teen. >_>;

Okay so I read something about "negative calorie" foods on bb.com On a list I saw it showed apples. Is this true?

Its not about weather they have calories in them its about weather the thermogenic effect of feeding or the expenditure of calories to break down and digest the food is greater than the calorie content of the food itself. Several vegetables and some fruits supposedly take more calories to digest with their high fiber content than you actually get from them. Not sure about apples tho.....

[tonytoo]

Good, you're here. Quick question. Will an apple, in any way, try to kill me if I eat it? Should I be afraid of them?

I believe there is cyanide in appleseeds - how much however is another question, I have never known anyone to die of eating an apple core and all.

Wow....

So if it's hot out they become negative calorie foods?

You probably burn 110-120 calories running a mile
I highyl doubt your body is working almost that hard to digest an apple

[AlwaysTryin]

But no one else is like you, you are like..... A snowflake

[psychodiver9]

Well that figures. What a waste of food. I agree with Always

[JValjean724]

Dont trust apples, they're just a way for trees to trick you into spreading their seeds

Do you trust any fruit?

[calmlikewind]

Well, there's always gonna be a bad apple in the bunch with a negative attitude.

LOL eat an apple a day keep the doctor away!

[lovingit]

At 5'11" and 152 pounds, you might want to look into more calorically dense foods...but apples are not "negative calorie" foods.

I have tried talking sense into this child but he won't listen to me. He's still cutting. And he complains of hunger, is 15 years old and his body is still developing. Makes me sad.

Hi OP. Me again, your resident mom/nag. Please stop worrying about what foods have the least calories and EAT.

EAT BIG! LIFT HEAVY! WTF OP!?!??!

You are going to waste the best mass building part of your life if you keep doing this. I strongly urge you to reconsider your goals. You don't want to be sitting where I am @ 25 trying to gain mass/cut/gain mass/cut/gain mass/cut and still be 170 lbs.

Lol.

srs.

EAT BIG! LIFT HEAVY! WTF OP!?!??!

I was thinking about this yesterday. You know what all the big dudes like Manu tell people on here all the time....EAT BIG TO GET BIG.

It's like every single young guy comes on here, obsesses over their body fat level, tries to reach low levels like they see the folks around here who compete do, but they don't have the foundation to support it.

Eat now, lift heavy, cut later. Or, just give me your hormones since they are being wasted on you anyway.

[JValjean724]

Do you trust any fruit?

Only grapes, I find that vines are more open about their intentions

[eur0_trashed]

no, even celery has been shown not to be a negative calorie food
all food info labels have already taken into account the digestive and absorptive energy related to the serving sizes
found that out just recently too
and i was really holding onto that broscience lol
on the bright side, youre talking about a few calories which you could easily cancel out by going for a quick walk

Incorrect.

TEF is not factored into product nutrition labeling.

Why don't you eat the flesh. Your daily marathon won't burn enough cals??

[jcolson]

From my experience with granny smith apples only the "small" ones are ~100 calories. Weigh everything

Weigh everything?

BRB, gonna go weigh all my electronics first.

He's sitting out marathons for a short time due to a shoulder injury...

Thank you...

I think extreme calorie counting and weighing food is sorta stupid, for the reason stated above, and more.

I really don't think that by burning food in a calorimeter and measuring the heat, you can really get a very accurate analysis of how much energy it will take your body to burn. Also, what about the digestion process when fiber shuttles fats through, or when fats are burned incompletely, and the ketones leave the body. What then... Does fat only yield 6-8 calories? Too many things to consider to be very accurate.

I spun my wheels for decades....until I started counting calories and weighing/measuring what I ate. In my view it's better to be close, than have no freakin' clue how much I'm eating.
