Chewing gum

sannsk

This might sound like a silly question, but I've found that chewing gum makes me snack less and keep me away from the chocolate cabinet... But does anyone count the calories in the chewing gum? You don't swallow it (at least I don't), so are the calories actually taken in? Or only partly? Or is my question absolutely ridiculous ? :laugh:

I had a look at the back of the pack, and 1 piece has 2.1 kcal. Which is not a lot, but I was just wondering...

I rarely chew gum, but I wouldn't count it if I did.

I've counted gum before, because I tend to chew gum like its going out of style....like multiple pieces a day...lol...but the calories are so low--I dont think it matters either way lol Sometimes I do, sometimes I dont....I do alot of stairs every single day so the calories probably get burned up anyway

lolwut?

No, I don't think it's all that necessary to count gum. Nor is it necessary to count the calories you burn chewing gum.

hubba bubba has 25 calories per piece lol

I chew gum for similar reasons and I count it. I also count cough drops when I have a cold.
