Vegetables are rich in carbohydrates, viramins, minerals, and dietary fibers. Because of the presence of these nutrients, and the requirement of requiring more calories for ingestion than their actual calorie content, vegetables are treated as negative calorie foods.
The calorie counter given below lists the values of calories, total fat, saturated fat (SF), monounsaturated (MU) fat, and poly-unsaturated (PUS) fat contents of some so-called "negative calorie food" items. You will notice that these foods have negligible amounts of saturated fats, and not large number of calories. If you eat these foods, you need not to count calories, & this calorie counter is not for you.
