There must be some caloric input required to produce mucus, however my question is what happens when you swallow your own mucus vs spitting. Do you retain calories by swallowing mucus?

    I once tried spitting all day when I was a kid. There is this sudden pain when your throat dries up enough and sticks closed. It is not pleasant and you will instinctively retain every little drop of spit after that.
