Sugarless chewing gum has 268 kcal per 100 g. But a single piece is ~1.5 g and 2 kcal. Sweetened with sorbitol, xylitol, or aspartame. Track only if you chew dozens of pieces a day; one or two are negligible. Sugar alcohols can cause loose stool above ~50 g/day.
How should I track Chewing gum, sugarless?
The trickiest part about tracking Chewing gum, sugarless is that small portions pack a lot of calories, and most people estimate sweet portions poorly. Research (Almiron-Roig et al., Appetite 2013) found that calorie-dense foods are underestimated by 50–200% when portioned by eye. Weighing on a scale takes the guesswork out. And here is the mindset shift that helps: tracking sweets is not about guilt. It is about awareness. When you log a treat honestly, you can plan around it and still hit your targets for the day.
