I was wondering if anyone here logs gum, not sure if I should or not.

    I don't. If I chewed it more often I guess I might but the 4-5 calories... It seems pointless.

    I do, but on a workday, I go through 5 sticks, so that 25 cals can add up over the course of a few weeks. If I'm off and I happen to chew one stick that day, I typically forget though.

    I thought about this but then thought about the length of time I spend chewing it. 5 kcal is absolutley notihing and I often chew gum for an age. Surely it more or less cancels out.

    Nope, unless it's super sugary Bubbalicious or something at 20 cals a pop
