Does gum have calories?

Does anyone record gum in their calorie counting? I know that a stick of gum normally has about 5 calories but I've always thought that the calories of gum were chewed away pretty quickly.... Am i wrong? Should I record my gum?

  • Honestly I wouldn't count the gum.. I know I do not count gum.. I am always chewing gum all day LOL.. I am sure my workout from chewing the gum is far more than the calorie count :)

    It has like 5 calories (depending on brand) but chewing it burns like 5-10 calories an hour so it cancels out :)

    I count my gum - my usual brand is 2 calories a stick, some have up to about 15 if you get flavoured.

    I can't figure out if you are unsure because you think it's so weird to track it or so weird not to!
