Plum sauce has 184 kcal and 10.3 g sugar per 100 g. A 30 ml dipping portion adds 55 calories. The plum base gives it a fruit-forward profile that masks the calorie density. Condiments are omitted from food logs 1–80% of the time (Whitton et al., Adv Nutr 2022). Measure alongside spring rolls or duck.
How should I track Plum Sauce?
Small amounts of Plum Sauce 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.
