Sugar Free Syrups

[Michael Tree]

I love DaVinci sugar free syrups, but don't know how to count them on Atkins. Are they truly carb free, or is that just rounding error? How much counts as "1 serving" for induction? A tablespoon? A teaspoon? 1 serving (packet) of splenda is as sweet as 2 teaspoons of sugar, but a tablespoon of the syrup isn't nearly that sweet. Any ideas?

The serving size for the syrups are listed on the bottle. So that serving counts as 1 of the 3 daily sweetener allotments.

The syrups use liquid Splenda which has no carbs. Many people don't count it towards their daily carbs, but I always count 1 serving of it as 1 carb because I wonder how carb-free the stabilizers, flavorings and coloring are. (Safer to overestimate your carbs than it is to underestimate them, imo.)
