If you look at the detailed carb count, it is listed as 0.9 g, which in the summary is rounded to 1. If you use 1 g (granular), then you get 24 carbs per cup. If you use 0.9 (individual packet), you get 21.6. Anyway, the difference only accounts for 0.1 g of carbohydrate per serving.  Quote: |
It proves what I often say that people do need to work out their own carb counts for recipes - my granulated splenda in UK has 24 carbs per 1/2 cup (24 teaspoons) which is why although my cream cheese has half the carbs of philidelphia your carb count works out as less than mine per muffin.
| Wow, 24 g per 1/2 cup?! That's double what the US brand of Splenda has!

I believe that the best way to overcome temptation is not with willpower, which is so often in short supply, but with our brain power, a potentially unlimited resource.
Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!"
