Sugar Free Gum

[Linzie1303]

Does anyone count the cals in gum?? I know this sounds stupid but I think I might have too(haha)

I quit smoking last April(yeah!) and I kind of used gum to ween me from the nasties...(want a cig? Pop a piece of gum)

Well last June, I started dieting and found that I was a "bored eater"(get bored..go eat) So I started chewing gum there too...just to keep my mouth busy.

Now even though it's Extra sugar free gum...I still go through around a pack a day(15 pcs)

Any thoughts on wether I should count these cals??

Thanks! Linzie

I can't help you there because I don't chew gum.

I didn't count all the cough drops I had yesterday because I lost count and my throat just really needed some help. But I assume there's a bunch of carbs in there.

For the few cals in gum, I wouldn't really worry about it.

what is there like 5 cals in a piece, even if you eat the whole damn pack it's only 60cal. If 60 cals a day is going to affect your progress, then your diet ain't that tight!

I would think you'd burn off the 5 cals a piece thru the chewing of it.....

most sugar free gums state that they contain 3 cals per peice

Congrats on that HUGE accomplishment (not to mention the years added on to your life) !!!

Sugar Free Trident White is what I chew if I need to appease my oral fixation

THANKS everyone for all your replies...I always thought the chewing part would burn all that humoungous portion of 3-5 calories...but sometimes you think hard about stupid things!!! I'm glad my addiction to gum can be justified!!!

Thanks again!!!
