1. Eating celery burns calories : Well not really, celery is basically water so it does reduce the calorie intake if you much on it when hungry instead of other things.

3. Eggs have cholesterol : eggs in fact are a great source for zinc and iron as well as Vitamin D. They are in fact a kind of whole food which should be considered great for dieting.
