Just try and buy as natural as possible so it's not made with HFCS or lots of sugar. I love it with potatoes!
Nothing wrong with sugar or hfcs.
Wow, so restrictive. Can I ask why?Miss it! Among other things, (gluten and dairy) I have had to give up Nightshades- tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant (no great loss there), and all forms of bell and chilli peppers. So as you can imagine, condiments have become a bit of an issue. I have discovered the key to the flavor of ketchup is the vinegar and spices. I've adapted a recipe (cutting down the sugar, leaving out additional corn syrup, and cutting 3/4 of the salt) and find that I have a substitute that works quite well in other recipes- dressings, spreads, crockpot roasts, stew, baked beans and sloppy joes. I can't have fries or hash browns anymore, and never had it on my eggs, so I don't know if it would stand on it's own... but I'm glad I have it. Now that I'm here, I'll have to compare my recipe to the real thing for calorie and nutrient content!

I made my own pineapple-jalapeño ketchup last week. It's really good and I am learning where I like it and where not. Egg white omelette with vegetables and my ketchup is really good. Steamed potatoes not so much....lol.
PS: I made the ketchup, because I like two different Chinese dishes that without ketchup do not taste authentic. Until I had those dishes I never had ketchup in over 50 years, because it's not popular in all countries....it's a revelation for me......0 -
I have never seen people put ketchup on steak.
I use miniscule amounts of ketchup on fries. Probably a teaspoon or less for a serving of fries. I don't even log the ketchup.0 -
I think the stuff is evil. But that's because I hate the look, taste and smell of it.
I do use other condiments from time to time and I measure and log those.0 -
I put ketchup on my ketchup, love it.0

I imagine many of us who consume sugar regularly and have met or surpassed our goals and have fantastic blood work to back it up would tend to strongly disagree0 -

For the record, I don't avoid ketchup due to sugar, HCFS, or other magikal pixie fairies.
I avoid it because it tastes like flatulence smells0 -

@shellybell999 Whats so special about Iceland?
@draznyth They just closed a Sugar thread. It has to continue somewhere.
Ketchup on tunafish?0 -
it has high fructose corn syrup which many studies say isn't good for you. It also has 4 g of sugar [in form of HFCS] per tablespoon which could add up to alot of sugar depending on how much you use, etc.0
