No, Splenda is sucrose that's been altered so that it's not absorbed. The carbs in Splenda come from a different source: maltodextrin, which is used to bulk it up. If you can get Splenda in liquid form, which is difficult in the US, it's carb free.

Excellent article. A wake up call every newbie needs before they go out and stock up on bars and shakes for induction.
