A healthy meal stops being quite so healthy the moment you add “just a little” sauce on top. A bowl of fresh vegetables, a piece of baked fish, or plain grilled chicken can all be genuinely light on their own, but the dressing, sauce, or marinade poured over them can quietly double the calorie count of the whole plate. The trouble is that sauces rarely get counted as food in their own right — they’re added “for flavor,” with little thought to how much is actually going on.
