SHEILA KELLY: So you've got the perfect burger or fish. Now, think twice before slathering
on the honey mustard or barbecue sauce. Many sweet sauces pack in tons of sugar from high
fructose corn syrup. But most grocery stores stock low sugar or light options so take a
minute to compare labels before buying your next bottle. Salsa and guacamole are great
alternatives, salsa can be full of veggies and has as little as five calories per serving,
avocados are rich in calories and fat but it's a healthy fat that can actually lower
cholesterol. Just watch your portion size. Limit guacamole use to two table spoons per
serving. Now, the all time heavyweight in the condiment world is mayonnaise, it's high
in calories AND fat. Mayonnaise-based sauces, like salad dressings and tartar sauce, are
especially dangerous, so, for fish, try using a low sodium soy sauce, a fruit based sauce
or curry spices to add some flavor. Experiment around and your entire taste buds may be pleasantly
surprised.
