Atkins allows three servings of sweetener a day. So for splenda that could be 3 tsp or 6 tsp depending on which version of spenda you are using. Check your bag.
You can use stevia too or saccharin. Atkins caution again aspartame.

Many of us do keep sweetener levels super low on induction. The last few times I did induction I had no sweetener what so ever. It helps me reorient my eating and lose weight.

chocolate powder mix I am more confused about. What is that? The stuff you put in milk? Chocolate is not on the allowed food list for induction. Cocoa is a nut that can be introduced later.

3 tablespoons of splenda allowed.

I think you meant teaspoons.

Yes.

The limit is 3 "servings" per day. It's not really about the "teaspoons", "tablespoons", or "packets".

If you use the packets, then the limit is 3 packets, since each packet is a serving. If you use the granular, then you're limited to 3 of those servings. Same with the tablets. If a serving is one tablet, then you're limited to 3.

Looking at those Splenda minis - those are the ones you are using?? it looks like a serving is one mini.

Stevia is fine and probably better than Splenda if its natural. Same numbers apply.

Stay away from those Atkins faux foods, they are mostly junk food
