Sugarfree ketchup, good or bad?

[Kanonkongen]

Hi guys.

Here in my country we've got a ketchup, which has no added sugar and a lot of extra tomatoe added instead (compared to most ketchups).

The ketchup is only 40kcal pr. 100g served, which is only the double amount of a whole tomatoe.

The ketchup should still be VERY high on vitamins, supposedly higher than a whole tomatoe, and lycopene levels are better than in a tomatoe as well.

Would one be able to add this to a lean bulker? just for the benefit of taste

Since there's no really good research on GI and tomatoes and procressed tomatoeproducts like this one, i would like your oppinions.

Hopefully I can eat my low-kcal ketchup with a good consciousness!

as long as there are no simple carbs or sugars in it, it'd say go for it

in tomatoes, as far as i know, there's a tiny bit of simple carbs. I think it's like 2g pr. 100g of tomatoe.

So i suppose, there'll be around 4g of simple carbs pr. 100g of ketchup.

so, what do you think?

you could try a small amount of salsa there are some very low calorie varieties and just be sparing when you incorporate it into your meal plan

I'd eat it. It's negatives are most likely overshadowed by the fact that because of it, it will be easier for you to stick with your diet. If it makes your food taste better you'll be less likely to cheat as often.

If it contains maltodextrin then I would steer clear.
