No. It is impossible for a food to contain negative calories, or anything for that matter, however it does require more energy to digest celery than the celery provides, which led to it being called a negative calorie food.Most people that dispute this say it would only take 1 calorie per hour to chew it up, ignoring the rest of the digestive process which is where most energy is consumed.

By water lettuce, I assume you mean iceburg lettuce. I figure it would take about 4 heads of lettuce to make one pound (a medium sized head is about 250g).

It takes more energy to chew and digest the lettuce than it provides in calories.

Do cucumbers have zero calories?

There are calories in cucumber (irrespective of the 'negative calories' theory). All food provides calories. For the calorie content of cucumber according to portion size, both with and without peel, see the page link, further down this page, listed under Related Questions. In general the negative calories theory claims that it takes more energy (calories) to digest a food than the energy (calories) contained in that food. Whether this is possible and in that sense cucumbers can be "negative calories" is not proven either way.
