Thank God you did Alex!
Of the 17 carbs in your meal plan, 10 were from Splenda in your coffee!!! ... That's half our daily carb allowance!

I don't know about you, but I'd rather save my carbs for something a bit more satisfying than sweetener.

I don't know if you like vanilla, etc. flavor in your coffee...but I've found that Torani sugar free flavoring syrup (on the coffee aisle) sweetens my coffee and adds a nice flavor (there are many to choose from) without adding any net. carbs...check it out...I agree with mouseissue...don't drink your carbs if you can help it!!! <grin>

Stevia is MUCH sweeter than Splenda.
I suggest start with a small amount and slowly add more until you find the sweetness you like.
If you overdo it, the aftertaste is a bit much.
