Vegetables and fruits have a thermic effect of about 20 percent which means that generally 20% of the calories obtained through consumption of them is lost in the energy expenditure required to digest them. Celery, however is comprised of mostly water, which is why a stalk of celery is only 6 calories. The calories required to digest the celery end up being more than the 6 calories obtained. This effect can be enhanced if the celery is cold, because more energy is required to bring it up to body temperature for digestion. The same goes for water. Your body can burn roughly 10 calories processing 8oz of very cold water.
When eating celery, you burn the calories you could have been getting from the celery. You do not gain any calories.
