Okay, I know… It’s not Splenda. Might even be like 2% better if it was ? But seriously though, this stuff is great 
So I used to do this Salmon recipe (marinade) that consisted of 1 part real maple syrup, and 1 part soy sauce. Marinade overnight, then cook on the BBQ grille, and Bam ! Freaking awesome ! But of course real Maple syrup is out. So, this morning (just on the stove… for a quick breakfast… I freaking LOVE Salmon for B-fast 
I just grilled a nice slab of Salmon until it was just about done… Golden on each side, then added about 1/4 cup of soy sauce, and 1/4 cup of this Lakanto Maple syrup, cooked it down for a few minutes, and Holy %$% ! It was VERY close to my old maple soy marinade Mmmm. I can see the rest of my Salmon disappearing quickly ! I usually buy a couple whole side, boneless skinless fillets at Sam’s Club, then portion it all out in Ziplocs for freezing… Like $50 or $60 worth, then I’m good for a minute
This stuff is Fire ! :)
Amazon link shows 0 grams protein, 0 grams of fat and 6 grams of sugar alcohol for a total of 21 calories per 2 tablespoons.
So % calorie breakdown is:
0% for protein
0% for fat
100% for carbohydrate
I’d use this pretty sparingly.
Notice that “net carb” is not defined or regulated.
Geeez, it figures 
I still don’t know why the heck everybody is so damn scared of sucralose ! This stuff would taste great, AND be ZERO carbs, if only it were made from it
Freaking sugar alcohols are really dumb ! What’s the darn point ? Urggg…
The best advice I have ever heard on this is to only use “net carbs” on whole real unprocessed foods.
A cup of cauliflower has 5 grams of carbs with 2.1 being fiber so 2.9 “net carbs”.
No advertiser gains from those numbers and they are generic - first hit on Google.
Enjoy your vegetable covered in cheese and butter safely.
Any processed foods - where the manufacturer has an interest in seeing a low “net carbs” number can use any logic to make that number low - and is pressed by business concerns to minimize with any excuse.
Like Rob said I think it’s meant to consume a couple tablespoons on a pancake, 4 oz. is a larger amount than most people would eat. However when I plug your marinade into Cronometer I get this
So I would estimate 6g. carbs for the marinade. The soy as you can see is higher in carbs than the syrup. 
Net carbs YES ! Whole unprocessed foods has nothing to do with Keto, in my book. Dirty Keto all the way
Best advice I ever heard, “Keep carbs below 20 gms”
@RobC so I read the article you posted, are you one of the total carb camp people?
Yea… So marinading in this mix, then pouring out the excess, is probably not too bad. But using 2 -4 tablespoons of each, in my breakfast with my 12oz Salmon fillet is probably not acceptable… Unless I skip veggies with my dinner that night ?
Honestly, I feel like I can stay in ketosis with probably 30gms of carbs a day… But I still try to stay below 20…
That leaves you at least 15 carbs to play with at dinner time Chris. No need to skip vegetables.
Yea, I’m just bummed that more things just don’t use sucralose, and forgetaboutit…
Same thing with my stupid Icebreaker breath mints (sugar free, but they use sugar alcohols) … They are probably .49 carbs per mint. So if I eat 20 in a day, their goes half my daily carb allowance on stupid little breath mints ! Freaking sneaky @ss carbs ! Urggg…
I can’t speak for Rob, but I have always been a bottom line kind of guy. I don’t care what it feels like, or how it seems… Give me something with 50 total carbs… but only 3 carbs net, and that sounds like it could be a good dinner to me
When it comes to non-real non-whole foods - yes.
Rebel Ice Cream wants you to believe that each vanilla pint is 6 net carbs - so 3 pints a day would leave you under 20 (net) grams of carbs. A person with a history of dieting and willing to bend numbers any way a marketer can make them believe could think that 3 meals a day of a pint of this ice cream and a Ribeye covered in butter is “Keto”.
But the label shows 10 grams of carbs per serving and 2 grams of fiber so the “count total carbs” number would be 40 grams per pint and then “count non-fiber grams of carbs” would get 32 grams per pint. To me, these numbers make much more sense and that eating a half cup would leave you some room to play with on other carbs and a cup is just about your 20 gram cap.
Eating 3 pints would, in my opinion, affect people in a way closer to having 100+ carbs.
Directly from the Rebel web site:
They simply state this contentious idea as fact.
The bottom line is that I am pretty sure they must - per FDA - list the carbs, fiber, non-fiber carbs but, the label on the front is not an FDA label so they can write “Net carbs” or “usable carbs” or “human carbs” or just about anything as “5” per pint. Ultimately I think this is intentionally misleading - but, who would suspect that of a marketer?
Keto Ice Cream - what's the catch?
Hey Rob, all valid points.
Ya’ know, it’s weird. I’ve been a food hog all my life… Especially junk food. But since doing Keto now for 3 months, I really don’t find myself wanting to eat a whole bunch of keto treats in a sitting ? (very unlike me) but rather, I need to control myself when eating beef or chicken, especially since I’ve been SV’ing the best meat in my life ! 
Now I’m craving dead cow 
lol
Edit: In fact, case in point, my GF bought a pint of this ice cream over a week ago. I think I grabbed a couple of spoonfuls twice…
Good points Rob, I don’t really consume pre made foods other than cured meats like Salami and stuff like mustard or hot sauce. I can see a sugar junky eating three of these daily like you said, people always look for shortcuts to lose weight or ways to continue feeding an addiction instead of dealing with it head on. Surely eating three pints per day would be an interesting experiment for someone already fat adapted to see if they gained some weight in a week. Especially someone who’s all into the testing and experimenting with the individual foods effect (not me). I’m sure I get more than I track sometimes but sorting out the difference between Processed and Whole Foods wouldn’t change much for me.
It’s a weird one, but lakanto is monkfruit and is often mixed with erythritol. The first sweetener I ever tried when I started was this mix and I love it. Everything I read says that it is keto friendly as the sugar alcohols pass straight through and don’t raise insulin or blood sugar. And yet if I put erythritol into Cronometer it gives me a shocking carb count that I ignore!
I say the lakanto is ok.
Funnily enough I came across this (lakanto) today. I was looking for “keto and cancer” as I have a dear friend of 30yrs old who has lung cancer with brain secondaries (never smoked). She was diagnosed last year and responded well to treatment initially. I spoke to her about keto and she said she would look into it if her treatment ever failed her!
It has started to fail her, she has had a number of fits in the last week. I have been looking for an article or video, something gentle and not too scientific, and I found this. Even though the lady does promote Lakanto, it is a very good message
Hmmmm. I’ve read that sugar alcohols still contain about 2/3rds as many carb cals as sugar.
Which kills me, as their are certain things (breath mints for one) that use sugar alcohols, and that bugs me every time I eat them.
I’d love to find out that they, in fact, pass right through you (like my beloved Sucralose )
Anyone else want to weigh in on this ?
Good informative video.
Also on that same page, was a very good article on sugar alcohols (not just erythritol) and wouldn’t you know it, my monts (Icebreakers) use the worst sugar alcohol available… Freaking maltitol 
Are you freaking kidding me ? That stuff is worthless ! Like 2/3rds the carb cals as actual sugar ? Totally lame that they can call it sugar free… When it has something nearly as bad…
What mints to start buying now ?
