    Either chew a 5 calorie piece of gum or suffer the consequences of eating God knows what and then logging that. I'm a chain chewer (one piece last for about an hour before the next one goes in) and I don't log it. I doesn't affect me either.

    Thanks for all replies. I now realize that I can chew all the gun I want as long as I count the calories regardless if I swallow it or not. If I do swallow it, it will stick to my ribs and increase my scale weight making it appear as if I am not losing fat while eating pizza and cheesecake. Much appreciated.

    I chew gum everyday, I seriously don't think that you need to worry about the 5 calories that each piece contains. I would be far more worried about other foodsa nd drinks that you may let pass your lips. Be mindful of what you are consuming, absolutely, but a piece of chewing gum isn't what made you put on weight in the first place.

    The OP made me crave gum... I caved.

    This made me lol
    I am pretty sure you could burn five calories just by vigorously picking your nose for a few minutes.
    So now I have to do this ^
    or moderately pick my nose for 5 minutes
    or lightly pick my nose for 10 minutes.

    Is that in the database??? :laugh:
