    Ok here we go. It doesn't say it on package but says it on site. 1 effective carb per tsp. I "assume" that means it's equal to the impact of only 1 carb?

    So are you generally tracking net carbohydrates or are you going to count them just for this food? I think switching back and forth might be confusing.

    I'm not entirely sure what you mean by that?
    I am logging in everything that I eat/drink and that does break it down by meal but also adds to my total count for the day. At this point, I'm more interested in my total count for the day which my understanding is that's net, not counting fiber.

    So...this is an expensive sugar “substitute” made out of sugar, which calls itself “whey” despite having no whey or any other protein and “low sugar” despite 100% of the ingredients being sugar.
    Seems legit.

    OP,
    In order to avoid the scams of the diet industry, I highly recommend you read up on how weight loss actually works (start with the stickied posts here on MFP). Otherwise, this won’t be the last gimmicky product to take your money by making you think you need it.

    On MFP, your count is total carboydrates, not net carbohydrates.

    ..plus no fiber in this product anyway.

    This calculator was recommended to me to use along with keto. If it doesn't count net then how can I use it to keep track? Is it a setting change?

    I have no idea how you'd track net carbohydrates, sorry. I just do regular calorie counting, I don't limit carbohydrates.

    You would enable Fiber as one of the 5 diary columns and mentally subtract it from the grams of carbs. I don't think the site has a "net carbs" field.

    With that said, you might want to try just tracking your calories (since you'd be tracking anyway for carbs) if you've never tried that before (before trying some special restrictive diet).

    I tried to verify their ads. I can't find the articles in Southern Living and Washington Post (their sites). And I can't find it on the Whole Foods website. Here is a review from Amazon: Tastes like sugar, because it IS sugar.
    And if you are giving this to diabetics and telling them it's a substitute for sugar, have a good lawyer at hand.

    The one client was forwarded the website, same client wanted regular baked goods to begin with, I never told them it's a "substitute".

    isn't the serving size for powdered sugar much larger than the serving size for regular sugar? I think a tsp is the serving for regular sugar. Powdered might be 1/4 of a cup.
    *Powdered sugar is just regular sugar put in a blender - it fluffs up, bulks up, looks bigger. So the serving size has to be bigger.

    No. It's the opposite. The grains of powdered sugar are smaller than grains of regular sugar so there is less empty space in the same volume of powdered sugar as granulated. In other words, there is more sugar in a teaspoon of powdered sugar than in a teaspoon of granulated sugar.
