Splenda

[Ptrcmcc6]

I'm sure it's here on the forum somewhere but does anybody have the nutritional facts for Splenda. I threw my box out and I want to enter it into MY PLAN. I use the granulated splenda that comes in the box.

Thanx......and sorry if this is a repetitive question!!

I only have a large bag but here is what it says.

Nutritional Facts
Serving size 1 teaspoon (.05g)
Servings per container 550

Amount per serving
Total fat 0g 0% of daily Value
Sodium 0g 0% of daily Value
Total carb. Less than one gram 0% of daily Value
Protein 0g 0% of daily Value


Not a sugnificant source of calories from fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, dietary fiber, sugars, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, calcium and iron.
Percent Daily Values are based on a 2,000 calorie diet.

I hope this helps, I have seen you around the forum...seems we follow each other around frequently.....

Have a good nite!

Although it says "Less than one gram 0% of daily Value" for carbs, it does in fact have almost 1 carb per 2 teaspoons, something like 0.9something.
So most of us count it as 1 carb.

I would enter it as 0.5 carbs, 0 protein, zero fat and 2 calories per teaspoon. :)

I pop around everywhere.....lol. Thanx to both of you. I've always heard it should be counted as 1g carbs. Hopefully it will allow me to put that in. Sometimes when I customize a food directly from the box, it'll tell me the calories are off or something.

Again.....thanx alot!!

Rosebud: So 2 teaspoons = 1g carbs?

[Ptrcmcc6]

Thank you.......that worked!!

[Rosebud]

I guess you don't need my answer now. :D I'm glad it worked!

Just wondering...

Since Splenda is a staple to low carb sweet goodies, why isn't it in the list by default for both packets and the spoon variety?

[TimesTwo]

What they list on the bag isn't accurate. They conveniently round figures down, since the amount in one teaspoon is considered negligible. They certainly add up though!

Granular:
1 tsp has 2 calories and .5 g carbs.
1 cup has 96 calories and 24 g carbs.

Canister (same formulation as the packets, just in bulk):
1 packet has 4 calories and .9 g carbs.
