How many calories are in ketchup?

One tablespoon of ketchup contains about 19 calories. A single-serve packet has approximately 11 calories. Most calories come from sugar, which makes up about 22% of ketchup by weight.

Ketchup contains lycopene from tomatoes, an antioxidant. However, it's high in added sugar and sodium. Use in moderation and consider reduced-sugar versions for a healthier option.

Is ketchup keto-friendly?

Regular ketchup is not keto-friendly due to its high sugar content (about 4g per tablespoon). Look for sugar-free ketchup alternatives that use stevia or other low-carb sweeteners.
