There are approximately 2g of carbohydrates in 1 teaspoon of baking powder. These mostly come from the starch (often cornstarch) put into baking powders to stop them from clumping.
You can make a low carb version using the following conversion:
1 teaspoon of baking powder = 1/4 teaspoon baking soda + 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar.

There are approximately 3 teaspoons in 15 grams of baking powder. Since 1 teaspoon of baking powder weighs about 5 grams, you can divide 15 grams by 5 grams per teaspoon to find the quantity. Therefore, 15 grams of baking powder is equivalent to 3 teaspoons.
To convert grams to teaspoons, it's essential to know that baking powder typically weighs about 4.6 grams per teaspoon. Therefore, 0.5 grams of baking powder is approximately 0.11 teaspoons. This means you would need a little less than a 1/8 teaspoon for 0.5 grams of baking powder.
Would you EAT baking powder? In quantity? If so, this might be a reasonable question. If a recipe requires baking powder, it likely requires flour and sugar as well. That's where the calories are, not in baking powder, which is used for leavening not to add calories to baking.
Baking powder typically contains a negligible amount of carbohydrates, usually around 1 gram or less per teaspoon. It's primarily a leavening agent made from a combination of an acid (like cream of tartar) and a base (like baking soda), along with a starch to keep it dry. The starch may contribute some carbohydrates, but the amount is minimal in the context of a typical recipe.
Eight grams of baking powder is approximately 1.6 teaspoons. This conversion can vary slightly based on the specific density of the baking powder, but a general rule of thumb is that 1 teaspoon of baking powder weighs about 5 grams. Therefore, to convert grams to teaspoons, you can divide the weight in grams by 5.
