Ketchup, barbecue sauce, and other condiments

The condiments ketchup, barbecue sauce, and sweet chili sauce are some examples of those that are high in sugar but low in nutrients. The sugar (and calories) in condiments can really add up if you're not cautious about the amount you're using. And it's easy to overdo it.

Per a 9-gram packet, these condiments can contain somewhere between 3 and 4 grams of carbs, depending on the type. Per 35-gram serving of sweet chili sauce, there are 15 g of carbs. Even though some of these don't have as many carbs as others on the list, it's still simple to consume a lot of them. Eating larger portions could soon turn them unfriendly to the keto diet. If you want to flavor your food more without increasing your daily carb intake, opt for hot vinegar-based sauces or the spice jar instead.
