OKay, I know Splenda has less than 1g of carbs per tsp. But how do I count that when added up a batch of cookies I made low carb, and I used 3/4 cup? I"m trying to split up the servings..

Do I count it at 0.5 then, or 0.7 or what? I can't find an exact count on the bag or elsewhere and fitday.com doesn't have Splenda exactly...

Splenda has 0.5 carbs per teaspoon. ;) There are 24 carbs per cup, so 3/4 cup will have 18g carbs.

One more thing....
If you have a look in Karen's sticky "Frequently Asked Questions," you'll find even more info. ;)

Cheers, Kris.
