Some sauces are high-fat, some are low-fat. Other sauces are high in carbs, yet others contain minimal carbohydrate. So when buying commercial sauces, check the ingredient information on the food label, especially the carb-total. Some brands include added sweeteners, corn syrups as well as starchy fillers.

Adding sauces, dips or marinades (like Pesto Sauce) to meat, chicken, or vegetables - whether lower or higher carb - is a great way to improve food variety and taste. Just one point: choosing a low-carb sauce may not be helpful for weight loss if the sauce is too high in fat. Remember: one gram of fat (9 calories) contains more than twice the calories of one gram of carbohydrate (4 calories).
