Sure. It contains proteins in the mucin family, which will have some, eh, "nutritional" value. Plus whatever is caught up in it. It's mostly water, though, so not much.
hehe I read the last words a "snot much" and did a double take :)
It'snotmuch
Interesting. I wasn't sure if it was indigestible, so even if it took calories to produce swallowing wouldn't cause you to retain calories.
People are funny as if I am only talking about boogers. There is mucus in just saliva.
I am curious if you spit all day like a camel, versus not what the caloric difference would be in a day. Also curious for the same, but with the individual having a heavy cold.
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.

Skorjden's disease is an autoimmune disease that attacks salivary glands. It is a large part of why Venus Williams had to retire. I don't believe there's any noticeable caloric difference though research would mostly be on the other effects of disease.
Our disordered eating sisters and brothers really need to never find out the answer to this question.
That's what I came here to mention, this feels like a question I'd see on EDAnonymemes
Not enough to make any noticeable difference. Now stop eating boogers, that's disgusting
I wish I could
post nasal drip is awful
It’s low carb.
Ew
I would say that it does, but whether you actually save calories by doing that instead of getting rid of it is unknown. I'd say to just do what feels comfortable to you. You can probably make up those calories easily in other ways
I mean, yeah, it’s gotta have some
