What changes the calories
- Portion size matters most, because people rarely measure ketchup and a generous squeeze can easily be several tablespoons.
- Reduced-sugar or no-sugar-added ketchups use less sugar or sweeteners, so they usually have fewer calories than regular ketchup.
- Flavored varieties, such as those with added honey or sweet chili, can contain more sugar and calories than plain ketchup.
- Ketchup mixed into other sauces, like burger sauce or fry sauce with mayonnaise, takes on the calories of those added ingredients.
Tips for logging it accurately
- Measure ketchup with a tablespoon or weigh it on a kitchen scale for a few meals to learn what your usual portion really looks like.
- If you use single-serve packets, count them and log by the packet, since each packet is 9 g and 9 calories.
- In BerryFit, log ketchup as its own item alongside your fries or burger so the condiment calories don't get lost in the meal.
