They also advise keeping saturated fat intake to less than 10% of your daily calories. Some sauces, particularly those with vegetables, may offer dietary fiber. On the ingredient list, look for whole ingredients like tomatoes, vegetables, and herbs listed early. Ingredients are listed by weight, so those appearing first are present in larger amounts.
