Splenda, Stevia, and Sugar Info
The caloric and carbohydrate content for SPLENDA Brand Sweetener is as follows:
SPLENDA Granular (pourable)
1 tsp = 0.5 gm carb = 2 calories
one half cup = 12 gm carb = 48 calories
1 cup = 24 gm carb = 96 calories
*1 tsp. = 1 serving
Packet of SPLENDA
1 packet = .9 gm of carb = 4 calories
*1 packet has the sweetness of 2 tsp of sugar
Note: Per U.S. labeling laws, anything with less than 5 calories "per serving", is properly labeled as "zero" or no-calorie. But when you are using it in recipes and measuring it out by the 1/2 cup etc. you need to count those calories.
