calories in new sugar substitute?

How many calories per tablespoon do people think is in this product by NuNaturals, MoreFiber with fiber and stevia? I emailed them to ask how many calories are in a cup--any ideas, though? 3/4 a tablespoon has 3 g fiber and supposedly zero calories, but maltodextrin and dextrin are listed as ingredients, so I don't trust that. I am one of those who will always "find the feed" (I'm very healthy, right?

), and I taste it in here!

I will post when/if they get back to me.

It has 6g of carbs.

Must be the new math.

Anything with malt/dex means calories. How much per serving not sure. I would be is 2-4 calories per serving.

They told me:
"There are 240 calories per cup. Keep in mind this would be enough to make a whole batch of cookies, a cake etc. A serving is 1 tbs which is 15 calories."

So, helpful in normal amounts, not helpful in freaky amounts (which, like some other women Leigh has worked with, I will do on low calories). I'm glad it's not more than that though--I cut calories the next day to compensate and thought I would have to today, too. But I don't!
