THM type: FP
If you're watching sugar/carb intake:
The Kirkland's Organic brand I use has 35 total carbs for the can with 7 fibers, so 28 net carbs for the entire can. Or 4 net carbs per ¼ cup serving.
No sugar added tomato sauce on the other hand contain around 30 carbs and 15 fibers, which is 15 carbs for the whole can, and around 2 carbs per serving.
For the total can, no-sugar is 165 vs 175 calories. All things being equal, that means there's a little over ½ of a teaspoon of sugar added to the Kirkland's brand that I use. That's around 2.3 grams of carbs, or 10 calories worth in the *whole can*. This adds zero carbs per serving and about 1.4 calories per serving. The rest are the naturally occurring sugars in the tomatoes. I can live with that. But if you're super careful with sugar then look for a sauce that doesn't have sugar added.
