Heinz Ketchup Calories

Hey, friends today I read this interesting article at http://www.livestrong.com about how much ketchup is contributing to your daily calorie intake!! I thought I would share for those of you who made a new years resolution to lose weight in 2013

Heinz Ketchup Calories
If you are trying to watch what you eat, then watch out for ketchup!!! Knowing the number of calories per serving of ketchup is adding to your daily diet is important. A bit of nutrition information can help you decide whether opening that Ketchup packet is really worth it.


Serving Size:  1 tablespoon. 

Yet you may be using much more than 1 tablespoon of ketchup to dip your fries.



Caloric Content: 20 calories. 

For someone on a 2,000-calorie-per-day diet, this is equivalent to 1 percent, per ketchup packet, of the total daily calories.  Remember most people I see use way more than one ketchup packet with their meal!!


Carbohydrates: Every 1 tablespoon serving contains 5g of carbs. 

That is 2 percent of the recommended daily value for someone on a 2,000-calorie diet. This is due to the fact that ketchup contains sweeteners such as high fructose corn syrup and corn syrup, Heinz ketchup does contain a small amount of carbohydrates.  which represents The majority of the carbohydrates in Heinz ketchup -- 4g of the 5g -- are sugars.


Sodium: Every serving of the ketchup contains 160 mg of salt.

That represents 7 percent of the recommended daily salt intake value for someone on a 2,000-calorie diet. So moral of the story is, if you are trying to lose weight, STOP EATING KETCHUP!! Or at least limit the amount of ketchup you eat to one packet!!!
