    This is probably a stupid question but if the splenda is only listed as less than 1 carb How do you count it? It doesn't seem near as sweet as equal to me. Could someone give me a Tbsp count for Splenda?

    As a general rule of thumb, count 1 carb per packet.

    Splenda 1 cup = 24 Net Carbs

    I count 1 carb for ANY packets of artificial sweetener, just to be on the safe side.
