Nope, it's true, it's just not many. The same can be said of water as well, because calories are used to heat it up to body temperature.

Actually, it's a fact. Celery has negative calories, so even though it may not cancel out other calories you eat, you still burn calories digesting it.

apparently cold water does :P because it burns calories to make it warmer but I'm not sure

Very few, though.

While that is true, in my chemistry class last year we calculated how much cold water you would have to drink to burn 1 calorie and it was so much even drinking all day would burn barely anything.

it's still good for you in other ways it just doesn't burn as many calories as people think

Technically it does. Water has no calories but your body uses calories to process it.

There is nothing wrong with calories, calories are fuel for you body to function. Do you know how you burn them? By moving around and doing stuff.

of course I know you can burn them. I'm just saying, it would be nice cause you could eat as much of whatever you want, and just drink a ton of water and not worry about gaining weight.

Come one... EXCESS calories are bad. And the OP is saying that this would be great because of the above reason, and that you wouldn't HAVE to exercise.
