Do you count the calories in the gum you chew???

I don't but wondering if I should.

    Nope, I figure if I am chewing 5 - 6 pieces of sugar free gum at 5 calories a piece, that's only 25 - 30 calories. And I walk up and down a lot of stairs at my job so I figure I'm good.

    I figure I burn those 5 calories in the action of chewing the gum itself. haha

    Excellent answer !!!! I do not log the gum for the simple reason that I take the stairs, i walk a little extra to the car, I dont log every step so I feel i'm still ahead of the game !
