Puzzle Description:

...which defeats the low calorie status of celery as a snack!

Starting from the bottom left, I thought this was going to be a pickle. Also good with peanut butter, but folks're liable to accuse you of being pregnant. :)

I will have to try that! It won't make me pregnant, will it?

It shouldn't! ;)

I'm on a low-carb diet (because my wife is, and she's the cook). I eat celery and peanut butter every day for lunch. Also celery and cheese spread. And lettuce wraps of peanut butter. And of cheese spread. I've found that ya do the cheeses spreads first, and the PB is like dessert.
And on a low carb diet, calories don't matter! I can eat bacon and eggs and steaks (I grill those, not the missus) and whiskey and wine but no beer (except Michelob Ultra and a few others, but really those don't count as beers).
I terribly miss my OJ though ...

The hint button finds absolutely nothing at first, but you can use some color logic to eliminate some of C1, R19, and R20. The blacks in C2 and R18 have only a couple of possible locations each and they will both need green in the outer rows/columns. With the resulting LL I get to 8%, with a few green squares placed.

C1: EL marks R2 and R11 white.
R18: EL marks C10 white. Minimal LL.

C2: Depending on where the 5 in C1 is placed, the 4 in C2 will be in either R7-R10 or in R15-R18. R19C2 can be marked white.

Line & color logic (keep in mind the green that is placed in R18C7 must be part of the 2nd 3 in R18) to finish.

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by wombatilim.
