1/2 c Sugar substitute If you use bulk AS, it has a bulking ingredient
that has carbs: Splenda for example has .5g per teaspoon.
A half cup has 24 teaspoons or 12g of carbs

I didn't know that. It isn't on the Splenda box anywhere. grrrr And
here I've been not counting any carbs from the sweetener...

Lori according to one of the data bases online..Splenda in the packages is .5
carbs per package. and The splenda in bulk is 12 grams of carbs per half cup.
On the regular splenda box it can list 0 carbs , because it is less than .99
grams carb.. That is the same as the other sugar subitutes..
All the splenda website says is that it is less than 1. gr carb, it doesnt
specify.. That is why you watch out for items listing 0 carbs, they may have up
to .9 carbs PER serving.. Many times you will notice one brand lists 1 tbsp as
a serving and others listing 2tbsp as a serving..Often this is because if they
listed the carb count on 2 tbsp it would come up more than 0 gr carb.
I learned the hard way.
As always YMMV and this is JMO
