Most guacamole served in restaurants is fairly the same recipe I've found. It has a little bit of sugar in it, but not a lot. Carb count is generally around 4 per quarter cup (that's whole carbs), then deduct the fiber count (avocadoes are really high in fiber) is 2.85 per 1/4 cup. Occasionally you may find tomato, onion and/or sour cream in the guacamole, and those will bring down fiber content somewhat.
As mentioned, some do better with drinks with NutraSweet than others. I would limit it to no more than one 12-ounce can a day, and just see how it affects your body. My husband drinks caffeine-free Diet Coke and hasn't had any problems. I prefer DietRite, but that's my taste preference and has been for years--since I decided I was going to give up NutraSweet, LOL.
