I've been eating my steak/chicken breast plain for the past several months and came across a sugar-free sauce that I'd like to start incorporating with a couple of my meals just to spice it up a bit. It is sugar-free according to the ingredients, but I am wondering if it would be a wise choice while I am on a cutting diet???
Here are the details of the sauce:
Name: Nando's garlic peri-peri sauce
Ingredients:
water, vinegar, onion, salt, lemon (5%), garlic, vegetable oil, serrano chilli, cayenne pepper, african bird's eye chilli (peri-peri chilli), stabilisers (Xantham gum, propylene glycol alginate)
Nutritional information (per serving: 5grams)

I usually have a serving of about 2 tbsp for one of my meals once a day. This meal is for lunch, including 250g lean steak with sweet potato. This is the only time I ever use this sauce; later in the day when I have steak again, I mix olive oil/lemon juice together for a sauce to keep it pro/fat.
Does anyone see a problem using a bit of this sauce with my lunch while I'm on a cutting diet?
Thanks!
