Does chewing gum break intermittent fasting
Intermittent fasting is a technique where you adjust your eating
schedule between two states: the fed state (the period of time during
which you eat) and the fasted state (the period of time when you do
not eat). This optimizes fat-burning periods when you're cutting, and
minimizes fat accumulation during a bulk due to the increase in
resting metabolism and utilizing body fat for fuel.
You may drink water or consume extremely low-calorie beverages such as
herbal tea and black coffee during the fasted state, otherwise the
fasted state breaks and you enter the fed state.

Sugar free gum isn't a problem for intermittent fasting. Martin Berkhan, the creator of the popular Leangains IF program, allows you to have chewing gum, artificial sweeteners that are zero calories (so, diet soda, coffee with Splenda, etc), and he even says you can have 1-2 tbsp. of milk in your coffee, which amounts to more calories than a stick of gum.
