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.

No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

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.
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
