    It depends. The only high-calorie condiment I use somewhat often is barbecue sauce, and I track that. I don't eat mayo and rarely eat ketchup, and I don't track hot sauce, sriracha, or spices.

    Does anyone measure and track sauces? Like BBQ sauce, ketchup, and mustard. I never have but should I be doing so?

    Yes

    Thanks for everyones input. I'll start logging my condiments. I never thought about logging butter but I sure will now.

    huh? You definitely have to log butter.

    I don't track ketchup, barbecue or soy sauce. I do track mayo, orange chicken sauce (I bought the bottle from panda express lol), and any other kinds of dressings (like ranch).

    edited to add: I also make sure that I use a minimal amount of the sauces I don't track.

    We're having adobo tonight. Of course I'm going to log soy sauce as there's 1-2 cups of that in there.

    The other night I ate 105 calories worth of Dijon mustard. That's 70g in case you're wondering. Damn Chicken Loaf was fairly dry : - )

    Ha ha ha, it must have been really dry. I'm good for overdoing it with condiments when food is too dry or not tasty enough.

    I track all condiments except the occasional hot sauce if it's like a tiny amount, most of the time I track it. I'm bad with tracking spices and especially salt

    I measure almost all liquid condiments...not spices. Except for the calorie-free Walden Farms. Amazon sells these disposable graduated medicine cups...made of plastic....like you see on Pepto or cough medicine. I originally bought them for coffee creamer. ...I LOVE french vanilla creamer....but now use them for all condiments. And...now I am finally losing weight.

    I don’t track mustard, vinegar, hot sauce, siracha, or spices. Everything else, yes.

    For me it really depends on the condiment.

    I don't track hot sauces, ketchup, mustard, vinegar.

    I DO track cooking sauces, marinades, salad dressing, sour cream, mayonnaise, etc.

    Barbecue sauce -- yes. That stuff adds up fast.
    Yellow mustard - I don't bother.
    Be aware though that some mustards (Honey mustard, I'm looking at you) will surprise you by adding up.
    Watch out for mayonnaise and any sugary stuff (hoisin, duck sauce, etc)

    I track all condiments with the exception of regular yellow mustard, spices and hot sauce. Everything else gets weighed and logged.
