i chew gum like candy lolz i just stick one piece after the other. its horrible i go through 5 packs a day lolz. yes count those calories, they all count.
Gum is actually one of "addictions." *laughs. I chew quite a few peices throughout the day. Especially after a meal to quell my still wandering eye at the food. ;) :P
i wasnt counting those calories:(((((maybe thats why ive gained 2 kilos?? gosh...ok from this day i wont chew those gums:(( it will be hard for me!
and i remember that someone here told me that i burn those calories by chewing, so i shouldnt count them! is that right??
2 pieces of dentyne ice is 5 calories...if u added it all up, it cant be that much, a whole pack is only 30 calories

how much gum are you eating girl!?
Sugar free is probably handy but Ive heard the sugar in regular gum can stimulate a digestive that can make people feel hungry.

I love wrigleys sugar free xtra chewing gum-----can chewing like 20 a day be that much calories?
I have personally never counted gum, and I chew it ALL day long!!  I am quite strict though with counting everything else.  I have also heard that you burn what you chew for gum, it seems to make sense to me.  Anyone know about that?
Dietdemons: That's my brand too. :-) Each stick is 5 calories (recently reduced from 8 cals, per wrapper info). So... 100 cals a day... if you're chewing 20 sticks.
im chewing lots of gums...50 or more per day! im gonna be Chewing Gum at last...lol=)) but since yesterday i restricted it to myself!
i read somewhere else that the xtra chewies were 10 cals per stick
I think if you are chewing 50 mor more calories worth of gum then count it but if you are just a casual users I wouldn't bother cuz it probably does burn more cals to chew it than it counts.  I do the orbit and eclipse sugar free gum and usually just when I am in the car - used to reach for a cigarette now I have to reach for gum.  I also chew it while I work ou to keep my mouth from going dry.  I have terrible dry mouth when I am working out and drinking water just doesn't work plus I would have to be hooked up to a water bottle for the whole workout and that isn't going to happen LOL/
