Aioli has 480 kcal and 51 g fat per 100 g — essentially garlic mayonnaise. A tablespoon (14 g) adds ~67.2 kcal. Portion errors for calorie-dense foods reach 50–200% (Almiron-Roig et al., Appetite 2013); weigh it once to calibrate.
How should I track Aioli?
Small amounts of Aioli add up faster than most people realize. A systematic review (Whitton et al., Adv Nutr 2022) found that condiments are among the most frequently omitted items in food logs — skipped 1–80% of the time. A tablespoon of mayo or dressing can add 50–100 calories, and most people use two or three tablespoons without measuring. The fix is simple: keep a teaspoon or scale near your plate and measure once. Sauces and dressings are often the hidden reason a "healthy" salad ends up at 600+ calories.
