Should I count the calories of sugar free gum?

I count every calorie I put in my body. I was wondering if I should still count the calories from the sugar free gum which is 5 per piece. Some people tell me I'm not really consuming them because I'm not fully eating it.

I don't think it's necessary to count the calories from the sugar free gum because you're probably burning up those calories just by chewing the gum or talking and chewing at the same time.

Well...if you really want to count the calories of sugar free gum, you should. No matter what, your adding calories to your body and if you want to keep to a minmum calories, do not chew gum. Eat food, and don't waste calories on the gum.

You are burning more than 5 calories by chewing it..I think I would count it as a wash.
By the way...just curious..why do you count every calorie...isn't that time consuming and frustrating?
