Ketchup Bad For You???

[jcregs]

Ok, I put ketchup on all my salads instead of salad dressings. But how bad/good is ketchup for you? I'm curious because I'm cutting right now and I'm trying to get rid of anything that could screw it up. Thanks.

Hmm

Give me the nutrition info on the Ketchup and I can help you out as for bad for u or not what kind of diet are you doing.

 

[jcregs]

It's Heinz....15 calories per 1 tablespoon, 4 grams of carbs (all sugar due to high fructose corn syrup I'm guessing)

My cutting diet now is fairly strict, but I just want to make sure I'm not screwing it up by using the ketchup.

ketchup is quite high GI
and there may be some saturated fat

but as long as you don't take huge amount of it , it won't kill you

Lycopene

Ketchup has lycopene, which has been shown to slow the growth of cancer cells in the prostate. At only 15 cals per tbsp, I say go for it!

ketchup on salad? WTF?

 

[anthrax]

mustard and apple cider vinegar (and maybe a good oil) would be better on salads

Why'd you leave the ketchup on the table?

That's what I was thinking. Man, you should get bad karma just for that! Kidding bro, I once knew a guy who ate PB and Mayo sandwiches so to each his own.

I personally dont eat ketchup on my salads, but i've heard of plenty of people who do. Also, I thought ketchup was high in sodium?
