They claim to be sugar free/zero carb/zero calorie, but looking at the ingredients there's GOT to be calories in there... I usually count a can of Sugar Free Rockstar (my favorite! tastes like bubblegum) as 20-30 calories. Thoughts?

    Embrace the free. Read the label.

    Splenda has ~4 calories per packet. It adds up. Better to count it as something imo

    IIRC, products with less than 5 calories per serving are allowed to be labeled as zero calories. So at most it has 4 calories per serving.

    Yup. I count 10 calories for a can of sugar free Rockstar (when I bother logging it).
