From pasta to pizza, and tacos to casseroles \u2014 tomato sauce is a must-have for most cooks. But is tomato sauce keto-friendly? <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The answer to that question depends on the type of tomato sauce you are using. Traditional, store-bought sauces often contain added sugar and other ingredients that can make them too high in carbohydrates to be part of a keto diet. However, there are some brands and varieties that are made without added sugar, meaning they can be part of a keto diet. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This article covers some of the best keto-friendly tomato sauces, as well as tips on how to make your own healthy sauce at home. We also look at the nutritional content and calories of different types of tomato sauce, so you can make an informed choice about which ones best fit into your diet plan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/en\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2171&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Is_Tomato_Sauce_Keto_Friendly\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Frame_207608.gif\" alt=\"Everything about Ketosis in One Place\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" \/><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_Tomato_Sauce_Okay_For_Keto_Diet\"><\/span><b>Is Tomato Sauce Okay For Keto Diet?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/tomato-diet\/\">Tomato<\/a> sauce is keto friendly if:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It does not contain added sugars or starches.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The ingredients are low in carbs (less than 1 gram per serving).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is made with healthy fats, such as olive oil or avocado oil.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is homemade, so you can control the ingredients and ensure they are keto-friendly.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tomato sauce is not keto-friendly if the ingredient list has the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It has more than 1 gram of carbs per serving.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Contains high fructose corn syrup or other added sugars, like corn syrup solids.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Has refined starches, such as wheat flour, cornstarch, and potato starch.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Note that the main issue here is added sugar and starches, as tomatoes themselves are low in carbs. According to the USDA, one medium tomato contains just 3-4 grams of carbs and 1 g of fiber per 100 grams, making them a low-carb food and an excellent choice for those following the keto diet (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/fdc.nal.usda.gov\/fdc-app.html#\/food-details\/1999634\/nutrients\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Their fiber content and low glycemic index also make tomatoes a great choice.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fiber helps to slow digestion, which helps you feel fuller for longer and prevents sugar spikes and crashes (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/nutritionreviews\/article\/67\/4\/188\/1901012?login=false\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).

From pasta to pizza, and tacos to casseroles \u2014 tomato sauce is a must-have for most cooks. But is tomato sauce keto-friendly? <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The answer to that question depends on the type of tomato sauce you are using. Traditional, store-bought sauces often contain added sugar and other ingredients that can make them too high in carbohydrates to be part of a keto diet. However, there are some brands and varieties that are made without added sugar, meaning they can be part of a keto diet. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This article covers some of the best keto-friendly tomato sauces, as well as tips on how to make your own healthy sauce at home.
