Can anyone help me, please? or direct me to thread that will?

Anything under 5 calories or 1 gram can legally be called 0 calories or 0 grams.
1 serving of splenda (1 teaspoon) contains half a gram of carbohydrate and 2 calories. A tablespoon of splenda is 1.5 carbs and 6 calories.
It's not that fitday is incorrect (well with some sugar alcohols it is), its just because of our labeling laws something can be listed as having 1 carb but zero calories, legally. In truth, if it has 1 carb it also has 4 calories.
