When one packet of Splenda is listed as >1g of carbs... what should I count it as? 1/2? Or do I have to round up and call it 1?

Re: Splenda question
I've always rounded up each "less than 1 carb" packet to 1 carb.
TheDailyPlate lists the carb count at half a carb per packet.
FatSecret, .9 carbs.
NutritionData: 1 carb.

Re: Splenda question
If you have really strong cravings for 'sweet' it might be a sign that you will do better by starving your sweet tooth rather than feeding itOriginally posted by 2babies View Post
Just my opinion 
When you do get it do remember that we are limited to 3 servings of any sweetener a day on our Atkins journey.Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!
Check out our Low Carb Recipes website and add to it!!

Re: Splenda question
I know I'm only allowed 3 servings, but if each serving packs a punch I'll be a happy girl
I might try to kill the sweet tooth completely somewhere down the road, but I'm still a beginner and I can't quite face it yet!Must lose the baby weight - I know I'm buried under here somewhere!

Killing your sweet tooth is one of the purposes of Induction.
