What are Zero Calorie Foods?

Calories in food is a unit of energy. There are different methods which can be used to measure calories. There are different factors, which decide the calorific composition of food. Zero calorie or negative calorie foods are the foods, that need more calories to digest them than they actually contain themselves. In other words, the body has to expend a lot more energy to digest the food and extract the energy they contain. There may be two different types of food, which contain equal amount of energy or calories in them. However, from the negative calorie foods, the body is not able to retrieve too many calories, therefore chances of the calories getting stored as fat are minimized to a large extent. Hence, these foods have a natural fat burning advantage.
