>It may be possible to grow fat from eating raw celery and tomatoes

Doing this with celery will be more difficult as it takes more energy to digest than is gained from it.

I had a humorous image in my mind of someone trying to get fat via only veggies, imagine the volume of food they would have to eat every day!

Examples: The Kimchi I had with lunch was 15 calories, the half bag of russels sprout I had last night (excluding the oil oil cooked in) 130 calories.

Edit: Why the downvote?

I'm not one of the downvoters, but "satiety of eating unrestricted quantities of vegetables outweighs any caloric intake" approach only works if you don't add fats or sugar sauces.

I'm pretty sure I didn't recommend eating unrestricted amounts of veggies, I did laugh about the idea. After all, I would have to eat a walmart/target size bag FULL of brussel sprouts to get my daily allowance of calories from brussel sprouts. That is a huge volume of food! I'm not sure if would be possible.

I was responding to someone talking about eating "raw celery". Vegetables in general are low in calories (before as you and I mentioned, oil sugar etc are added), BUT raw celery is well known to have a net negative impact.

Celery does not have a negative net impact.

It's a common misconception.

I stand corrected- thats what I get for believing what I was talk in highschool health class. Celery is simply very low in calories.

Btw, why would you create a user name just to post the above?

Because I didn't have an account (having previously nothing to contribute).
