So, for instance, my bottle of gum says less than 5 calories per piece. Is this the calories I intake from chewing the gum, or is this the calories I would intake if I swallowed the gum? Hmmmm.

    Chewing the gum.

    It's incidental calories to be honest, unless you start chewing packs of gum lol.

    This. Unless you go through at least two or three packs of gum a day you aren't going to notice these calories. However, try to chew the sugar free stuff, because most gum is loaded with sugar.
