What is the Negative Calorie Food Theory?

All food contains calories. Even a little bitty baby carrot has calories, about 15 calories per ounce. The theory goes that it takes more calories to digest the 15 calorie carrot than the 15 calories the carrot provides. It is the overall equation related to the amount of energy required for digestion in comparison to the amount of energy in the food item itself.
