As ridiculous as this sounds, yes. You should log EVERYTHING you eat. Those little bites can add up quickly.0
-
Yes It's good to log everything, because everything adds up!0
-
only if you are eating 10 of them0
-
i never log gum and I chew it all day. i always leave about 100 calories at the end of the day to be a "catchall" for things like this.0
-
I wouldnt0

I wouldn't worry about it. As long as your not eating the whole pack in one day! I wouldn't be suprised if you burn those 5 calories that are in the gum just by chewing on it!0

i'd say yes, because its not calorie free and even though it seems like a small amount of calories, sometimes all it takes is 5 to tip you over (or ten...or 15....if you have more then one)0
-
i do, but that is just me0
-
i do because it does add up...0
-
finehhhhh i'll log it0
-
No way. I don't even log vegetables.0
-
You figure your calories are probably off by about a 100 or so anyway, so I don't log my gum.0
-
I don't because I probably burn it off just chewing.0

I log EVERYTHING... BUT I do NOT log gum... It's crazy... I chew Sugar-Free Orbitz (2 pieces/5 calories) all day every day but I guarantee I burn the calories off by just chewing all day!

Don't log gum. Don't let yourself get too obsessed or overanayltical. It is a road to disorders - I know it sounds crazy but I know a few people who suffered from anorexia and they did things like that - not that you are anorexic. :P
Eat well - look at your diary and see a great log - don't worry about the gum!0 -
I don't log it. According to Prevention Magazine, you can burn up to 10% more calories by chewing it because chewing gum produces more saliva. So I take it as a wash. I am not going to put in my exercise diary "Chewing Gum". :happy:0

OMG, that's just getting anal about the whole thing!0

i would not log a piece of gum or even 3 pieces. i would just chew it. you can burn it off walking it over to the garbage to discard it.0

No way. I don't even log vegetables.
Why wouldn't you log veggies? that seam weird.0 -
Nope, I do not log gum.0
