Condiments are so much more than ketchup and mustard.
By definition, a condiment is "a substance applied to food in the form of a sauce, powder, spread, or similar, to enhance or improve the flavor. Condiments are typically smeared with knives, squirted, or spooned onto other foods."
With that in mind, let's see how these flavor enhancers compare nutritionally. Want to see? Then read more

ha good to know i am going to a bbq tomorrow!
1um, i think there's something wrong with those stats for the regular ketchup... given that it only has 30 calories, there is no way it can have 14 grams of carbs (1 gram of carbs=4 calories) and 14 grams of fat (1 gram of fat=9 calories).
according to calorie-count.com 2 tbsp of ketchup (no brand specified) has:
228 calories
0.2 grams of fat
334 mg of sodium
7.2 grams of carbohydrates
0.4 grams of fiber
6.2 grams of sugar
0.6 grams of protein
Thinking about the sugar, sodium and mayonnaise is grossing me out. The mayonnaise, especially!
3According to my bottle of Heinz Ketchup....
1 tbsp. serving
15 calories
40 grams of fat
4 grams of carbs
4 grams of sugar
I went to a great BBQ today, and the food was delicious!
5Yeah...i'm gonna check my bottle. 14g of Fat/Carbs doesn't seem right.
6i love sweet chilli sauce
7i HAVE ONLY JUST RECENTLY FOUND OUT HOW MANY CALORIES ARE IN MAYONAISE AND GOD I HAVE ALWAYS HAD MAYO ON SANDIWHICHES AND TUNA MAYO! SALADS WELL ETC ETC BUT IM NEVER EATIN IT AGAIN NOW! HAHA WHAT A WASTE OF CALORIES FOR ONE TSP OF SAUCE!
8I like mustard to add some flavor, so I'm happy it's the lowest calorie & fattening condiment. Since I recently started my diet (Today!
) I am not using ketchup or mayo, and am opting for a squirt of mustard!
9ugh! i'm never eating mayonaise again! yeesh!
10Fit, darling, I'm sure you see the mistake in the ketchup category.
