    Between drinking Coke Zero instead of Coke and using Splenda in my coffee . . . depending on the day it could really add up.

    0-300. I try to limit myself because it is yet ANOTHER of my headache triggers. Too much splenda/equal/truvia insta-headache.

    So I try to limit myself to less than 3 packets at most and not daily. That is about 100 cals of another sweetener I would have had.

    Eat. All. The. SUGAR!!!

    I pick honey or real sugar over artificial sugar. Can't stand the taste of the zero calorie stuff.

    Wow! What do you guys put it in? I generally don't drink much calories. I don't like sugar in coffee or tea.

    I have one 8oz of diet coke with my rum maybe once a week. That's about it.

    I probably would have to say... a lot. I drink about a half gallon of diet pepsi or more per day. I also drink mio...

    I would guess at least 1000.

    zero-no artificial sweeteners for me and the only sugar I consume is naturally occurring in food (fruit, raw honey and any trace sugars in veggies/grains etc).

    Hold on wait? So if i look at a donut but don't eat it...DO i log it as negative? How does this change my TDEE? I'm so confused now.

    LOL! Some days I really wish it worked this way!

    To answer the question, zero for me... I generally don't eat any added sweeteners, artificial or real. (And I haven't for quite a while, so sugar/honey/artificial sweeteners have no correlation with my being fat.)

    Really........ I didn't know it caused headaches..... I'm wondering now if cutting that out might help mine!! Even trivia does it to you?

    I only do 1/4 tsp of splenda in my coffee, and maybe one diet soda a day, so maybe 150-200 calories?

    I have a migraine reaction to aspartame (nutrasweet). I tend to use a small amount of splenda or nothing. I'd say my caloric intake for drinks would be less than 100 per day as I drink a ton of water and only occasionally drink milk.
