    Depends on how long you chew. You will swallow a little even if you don't try.

    I'm not certain whether you're just asking this for humor reasons, or whether or not you're considering this, but be aware that this is behavior consistent with eating disorders and I would absolutely recommend that you:

    a) Don't do this.
    b) Stop thinking about things like this.

    and if you have a hard time with either

    c) Get help.

    That kind of thing is classic eating disorder behavior. Not the smartest idea in the world.

    That's called an eating disorder.

    First, what Sidesteal said.

    Second, in the interest of musing, I'd say it would depend entirely on the food. The enzymes in your saliva start the process of digestion almost immediately as you put something in your mouth - breaking down certain starches and fats. So if you chew and spit, with certain foods you'll inevitably get some calorie intake.

    Third, what Sidesteal said.

    If I'm not mistaken, I think this is a type of eating disorder.

    Sidesteal has the best response. As you read what you wrote please see that this is dangerously close to wondering how much you absorb is you eat and then vomit.

    You should probably talk to a mental health specialist about this.
