I have a bad habit of eating meat with ketchup, and when I say meat...I mean almost all meat, including chicken, turkey etc...so yes I am weird! Thankfully I do not eat fish with ketchup though ![:) :)](https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/resources/emoji/smile.png)
Ketchup, I assume, is just pure sugar and pointless towards my nutrition. What is a healthy substitute that tastes just as good to help me kick the habit?

You can find a number of different brands here with nutrition data...you can probably find one that fits your macros:

If you really can't find anything that fits into your list, you might consider a mild salsa although you'll still need to check the label to see if they're adding sugar to it.0 -
If ketchup is your biggest problem and worry, I'd say you're doing just fine. Ketchup won't hurt you. In fact, neither will sugar... unless of course you have a medically diagnosed reason to avoid it.0

This. But if you just want to switch it out for a zero calorie sauce, try mustard.0 -
Heinz offers a reduced sugar ketchup. Walden Farms also offers a calorie free, sugar free ketchup. In my experience their products have been hit or miss in taste though.0
