If I suck on pieces of candy, but don't swallow or chew them, am I still absorbing calories?

No. The amylase in your saliva starts breaking down carbs/sugar but nutrient absorption occurs in the small intestine.

Vanishment left your friends list 9 days ago and queen of boredom eats around 400 cals a day?I would not worry about the candy, these are just a couple that you have on your friends list that seem to undereat?
What I think, just in my opinion, is to add some friends that eat healthy?
It may help you to live healthy too x0 -
I had a cinnamon disc yesterday and logged it. 23 calories.
Sometimes eating one piece of candy can stop you from eating an entire bag of chips.
