Truvia and Counting Carbs

[Susiebabs]

I've done quite a bit of reading on this but I'm just still not clear, so looming for some other opinions! Does granulated Truvia count if you're counting carbs or is it a non-digestible?

At the moment I'm counting each sachet I use as 1g in my daily totals (I really don't use much but am really curious).

Hi Susie,

A sachet of Truvia contains erithrytol as its sweetening agent and 1 sachet equates to 3g of carbohydtrate, but it is a non-digestible carb (like fibre) so you don't need to allow for it if carb counting.

As Dennis said, only count the carbs that will raise your sugar levels.

Thank you gents, one less thing to count is always welcome! LOL!
