Well, I realize that of course. Ice cream has carbs because of the
milk and other ingredients in it.

It's just that 100% maple syrup is all sugar and that maple-flavored
syrups are corn syrup with either a bit of real maple in it or maple
flavoring, again basically all sugar.

What I'm looking for is a "maple syrup" with neither maple syrup nor
corn-syrup in it. What I've seen on the shelves has about 9-12 grams
of carbs per 1/4 cup and I certainly don't use that much syrup on their
waffles or pancakes. Since I'm not on Atkins but do control my carbs,
I'm looking for something that doesn't have 12 grams of carbs per
tablespoon! (BTW, the waffles and pancakes my hubby makes always have
a bunch of bran added and the pancakes are very thin - probably less
carbs than a slice of toast)
