Just curious how many sticks of gum you people chew in a day. And do you log it? Some days, I chew up to 10 sticks! Is this bad? It is sugar free and everything... Just wondering

    I don't chew it because it makes me hungry.

    I've seen a lot of people logging it though.

    Even chewing 10 sticks of gum at 5 calories each is not enough for me to think about. I might walk up and down my apartment steps an extra time that day. Even. Its not going to make or break your diet.

    lol....sugarfree gum and even sugared gum is really low in calories. You need not worry about it.

    I don't log it. I chew a lot of it and I buy in bulk.

    You probably don't need to log the calories because you burn the 5 calories just chewing it.

    I don't really chew gum, though. It was a habit I broke while I had braces when I was 18, and never picked it back up. It usually makes me hungry because the act of chewing and salivating can send signals to your brain that you're eating, so your brain tells the stomach to get ready to digest it.
