Default Splenda question

This question is about the granular Splenda, not the little packets or the liquid. The package says 1 tsp. has less than 1 g of carbs. If you use more than 1 tsp that "less than 1 g of carbs" adds up. How do you count that "less than 1 g of carbs"? 1/2 g or 1/3 g of carbs? When I use 2TBSP of Splenda, how many carbs would I count? When you start getting into 2 or 3 g of carbs, do you start adding calories too? What if I use a cup of Splenda? There has to be calories in that much. I am asking because fitday questioned my 0 calories with 3 g carbs for 2 TBSP of Splenda(each tsp at 1/2g carbs). What do you think???

Granular splenda has 24 g carbs per cup. There are 16 T per cup, so 48 tsp per cup and therefore 0.5 g per tsp.

HTH.
