Your body requires on average 150-250 calories to digest your food, depending on your weight, gender and activity level. If you eat a negative calorie food that has a caloric content of 100 calories, you will actually burn more calories than you ingest. Because negative calorie food is harder to digest, your body will require more than the average 150-250 calories to digest the food.
