Granular is 24 carbs per cup. I believe most people count 1 carb per pkt.

Here's a chart I developed a while ago. Hope this helps:

Splenda Packet Conversion Chart

Recipe By :Auntie
Serving Size : 0 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Information Text - "all About"

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 C = 16 T = 48 tsp = 24 packets
3/4 C = 12 T = 36 tsp = 18 packets
1/2 C = 8 T = 24 tsp = 12 packets
1/3 C = 5.3T = 16 tsp = 8 packets
1/4 C = 4T = 12 tsp = 6 packets
1/8 C = 2T = 6 tsp = 3 packets
1T = 3 tsp = 1.5 packet

Splenda Granular:
1 tsp. = 0.5 gm carb = 2 calories
1/2 cup = 12 gm carbs = 48 calories
1 cup = 24 gm carb = 96 calories

1 tsp. = 1 serving

Packet of Splenda:
1 packet = .9 gm of carb = 4 calories

1 packet has the sweetness of 2 tsp. of sugar

Note: The carb count is different for granular Splenda than for Splenda in packets. That's because the granular Splenda has more filler, Maltodextrin, which adds carbs.
