In the 19th Century, James Mease created the first ever tomato-based ketchup recipe, a recipe that has been replicated all over the world by people like Henry J Heinz. Since then, condiments have been a big part of people’s meals, with great taste that compliments the original food item. However, a lot of people do not track their calorie intake for condiments, when you should…
If you’re like me and love mayonnaise, you’d be shocked to know that in Mayonnaise, there are 94 calories per 1 tbsp, with 10 g of fat. If you’re like me and you need more than one tbsp, you could be getting closer to 150-170 calories per your own serving. Think about it, if you have Mayo on your sandwiches for lunch and then as a dipping sauce for your tea, you could be adding 300-350 calories of mayonnaise to your diet per day which averages 2,100 – 2,450 calories per week.
All products that you can buy from a supermarket or convenience store in the UK have nutritional facts, so you can always count your calories, check out one of our previous articles that will show you the best fitness apps that can help you track your calories.
As previously mentioned, people don’t track things such as sweet tomato ketchup, sweet chilli sauce, mayonnaise, barbeque sauce etc. and they all add up. If you had a takeaway one night, you’d track it wouldn’t you? All the sauces you have throughout a week add up around the waistline, so why not check out our zero calorie sauces and zero calorie syrups.

1 medio shot of caramel at Costa Coffee is around 41 calories. If you were to have that extra shot, it would take you either 6 minutes of cycling, 4 minutes of running or 15 minutes of running to burn out. However, with one 25ml shot of Skinny Food Co’s Salted Caramel Skinny Syrup, it would only be 1 calorie, which you would burn just by drinking it!
All in all, the sauces you use to compliment your food and drink can have a serious build-up of calories during the week, which can add to your waistline or hinder your efforts in the gym. So why not give one of the Skinny Food Co’s sauces or syrups ago and snack #guiltyfree today!
