    I probably save around 500 calories NOT eating artificial sweeteners.

    0. I'm really glad I'm not the only one that gets headaches from this stuff, my husband thinks I'm nuts.

    Difficult to say. I have 3 splendas in each of two cups of coffee and 2 diet orange sodas per day. But I don't know if I'd have the equivalent amount of sugar because just seeing the astronomical number might make me pick something else instead.

    I always worry about people who injest either a lot of sugar or artificial sweetners.

    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.

    It may indeed work for calories. Seems a reasonable parallel to Alice's Law of Compensatory Cash Flow.

    Calvin Trillin's _Alice Let's Eat_ (1979): My decision to take a rather elegant picnic along on a no-frills flight to Miami was solidly based on a theory of economics known as Alice’s Law of Compensatory Cashflow, which holds that any money not spent on a luxury one considered even briefly is the equivalent of windfall income and should be spent accordingly. If you decide, for instance, that buying a five-hundred-dollar color television set would be, all things considered, an act of lunacy and the final step toward complete financial collapse, you have an extra five hundred dollars that you “saved” on the television set available to spend on something else.

    That sounds a touch condescending.

    If my carb macro is on target and I'm getting enough veggies I don't see any trouble with sugar. Most of what you read online about artificial sweeteners is fear mongering. As long as you're consuming it within reason, in the context of an overall healthy diet, there's no reason to worry about either, in my opinion.

    While you worry about me, I will be out there being awesome. But I appreciate the thought.

    artificial sweeteners are calorie free.

    quit being so smug, you look foolish when you say inaccurate things.

    Plus you could fall off that high horse and break your nose. Then how would you look down on everyone!?

    I always worry about people who can't spell simple words like ingest and sweeteners.

    I don't like the taste of artificial sweeteners, but I sometimes drink raspberry ice Crystal Light. If I didn't, I would drink either unsweetened iced tea or water with lemon, so it doesn't really save me anything.

    I don't even bother with calories, macros and micros only. Once I meet or exceed them, I'm happy.

    0-they are too sweet for me....except on hot summer days, like today when i get myself iced lattes. Seriously, it is wayyyy too much effort to dissolve sugar into cold beverages.

    I dont use artificial sweetners, nor do I use sugarto sweeten anything.

    My only large sources of sugar are fruit & the occasional treat a few times a week when I want chocolate/ice cream or something.
