Is it true that it takes more calories to eat/digest an apple than it provides?

Yes it's true. Same thing with celery as well. That's why they are called the negative calorie food. It takes more calorie to digest than to eat it.

It depends on how active you are, but I believe that if you eat less than 1200 calories a day then your body goes into starvation mode, and your metabolism slows down.

yeah. fruits...eat alot of apples... apples may help you lose weight. A brazilial study showed that 300 overweight women who ate three apples per day lost more weight than a similar gourp who did'nt add fruit to their diet.  Researchers believe that adding fruit to the diet of the overweight women changed their METABOLIC PROFILES

Calories are calories, whether they are from oranges or donuts. Obviously, it would take a whole lot more oranges and there are certainly other health concerns with the donuts, but to answer your specific question...If you take in more calories than you are burning, you will get fat. It doesn't matter the source.

Apples will not make you gain weight!  Apples are a "negative calorie" food.  What that means is that your body burns more calories digesting that apple than what your body absorbed from eating it.  Other negative calorie fruits include:\napples\ncranberries\ngrapefruit\nlemons mangos\noranges\npineapple raspberries\nstrawberries\ntangerines \n\nI know the vegies too so if interested in those, just let me know.

Well, for starters you should burn more calories than you take in.

Yes, because the more muscle you have the faster your metabolism (the amount of calories your body burns at rest) becomes. So, more muscle = higher metabolism = more calories burned\nHope that helps.

Try celery. You burn more calaries chewing it than the actual calories in it!

Yes because it causes you to eat less. But it's at a high price.

no.  you should be more concerned with the total # of calories you are consuming and at what time.

sure can.  Especially if you eat more of one and not the other.\n\nBut seriously,  There are good calories and there are bad calories.  I recommend getting to know the good ones by getting some books on the subject of nutrition.  Learn the difference between the calories that your body can turn into energy, and the kind that just get stored as fat.\n\nFat is the result of your body storing up for energy when you need it later.  Usually a result of an improper diet.\n\nIf you eat a lot of sugar, your body gets used to the quick energy and fails to use the fat calories in foods, so it gets stored up.\n\nIf you do not eat a lot of sugars,  then your body will use the FAT as energy instead.\n\nSo your body will determine which foods will be "more fattening" depending on your normal eating habits.

Well they are called negative calorie food. Celery, cucumbers, pickles (watch the salt) bell peppers..These foods take more calories to digest than you take in. The trick is to combine those with other foods to have a healthy snack. Notice these are all high in fiber. Some people do the celery and peanut butter route, its a nutritious snack. Zero calorie drinks are also a way to help it along. I'm a huge fan of herbal tea, no calories no caffeine.

yes, chewing helps ur digestive system break it down faster and thereby absorb it into the bloodstream faster. it will just take a little longer to 'get into' your system but its fine, no harm

The answers so far are pseudo-scientific nonsense.\nFood does not rot in your stomach.\nGlycemic index tells you nothing about your metabolic rate.\nFiber has nothing to do with metabolism and neither has digestion nor the peristaltic movements of your gut.\nFruit is tasty however.\nI can't find any scientific reference to the effect of fruit upon metabolism.
