Sauces can be a sneaky source of extra calories that often go unnoticed. While they add flavor to meals, many are packed with sugars, fats, and sodium. Creamy sauces like Alfredo or ranch, and even seemingly harmless condiments like ketchup or BBQ sauce, can quickly increase your calorie intake without you realizing. Pay attention to portion sizes, and consider lighter options like vinaigrettes or homemade sauces with fresh ingredients to keep calories in check.
