    Because it’s harder to digest! The point is, you use more calories digesting a hard boiled egg than you get from it. Or so the theory was at the time.

      Well that’s just fucking nonsense. At least the celery myth starts on the premise that celery has 15 calories a serving instead of an egg, a food literally packed with all the calories and protein you need to make a baby chicken.
