SUGAR-LESS gum during contest prep.

OK I'm two and a half weeks out from my show. Does anyone know if sugar less gums like trident or dentene is ok to have?

THANKS FELLAS!

Depends on how strict you're being. Believe it or not, most sugarless gums do have a couple grams of carbs in them, most likely simple carbs. Beyond that, I can't see a problem with it.

a gum (sugarless or regular) makes you feel hungry....

and as gymtime said sugarless gums contain polyols which are carbs (with less calories than dextrose but still a few carbs and calories)

but a sugarless gum is far better than a regular one or a piece of fruit (or any other sweets)
