What are negative calorie foods and more importantly if you eat enough does that make it ok for you to eat chocolate cake every day?

Some people refer to certain foods as negative calories foods meaning you burn more calories digesting them than what they are worth in calories for example celery, cucumbers, etc.

There are currently no reliable research studies on the existence of negative calorie foods. In theory, they could exist because there are low-calorie foods like celery and cucumbers where you theoretically would burn more calories digesting them than they contain, but there isn’t any medical data to support that right now. So no eating a whole bunch of celery after you eat chocolate cake won’t cancel out the chocolate cake.
