Whether you’re a flavour fanatic or you’re a little sceptical when it comes to sauce, there are a range of reasons why sauces should be used in your cooking to take your food to the next level! Sauces can bring a whole new world to your kitchen, and help you to improve your cooking skills too!
One of the most obvious ways that sauce can elevate your meals is by bringing complementary flavours to your meals. They can be used to complement similar flavours to other ingredients within your dish or to contrast elements. The combinations of flavours are practically endless, and it pays to be experimental with your sauces as they can completely change the taste of your meals.
Sauces are an effective way to add moisture back into a dish with a dry cooking method, or a dry dish in general. If you’re someone who doesn’t enjoy dry food, sauce is a great way to combat this and still enjoy a tasty, healthy meal.
Some naturally lean or drier protein choices can benefit from the moisture that comes with a sauce. Grilled foods can also be dry, and meals like burgers can definitely be improved with a tasty sauce.
Something as simple as a sauce can improve the look of your dish by a mile. Whether it’s a sticky sweet and sour or a juicy, succulent jus, sauces can elevate the look of your food and make it look much more appetising. Your sauce may bring a contrasting colour or have an appetising finish, leaving your meals looking mouth-watering!
Sauces can come in a range of thicknesses and textures, which can bring a new element to each dish you prepare. Depending on the kind of meal you are preparing, you may want to consider using a complementary texture, like a thick gravy, or a thinner sauce such as a white sauce! Or, if you enjoy contrasting elements, you might want to use your sauce to bring new textures to your dish.
While some sauces can bring harmony between similar flavours, using sauces for contrast can make your dishes much more interesting. Contrasting flavours and colours can improve the look of a dish by a long way, and it can help you to explore more obscure flavour combinations. You can also use contrasting colours and textures in your food to make each meal more enjoyable. You could try experimenting with sharp and tangy flavours to make your meals more interesting
To give you some inspiration when it comes to keeping your meals low-calorie, we’ve created a list of some low-calorie sauce hacks to help you get started. If you want to find out more about low-calorie sauces that we offer here at Calorie Watchers, you can check them out on our website. To learn more about our hacks, keep on reading.
Zesty lemon juice is a fantastic way to finish off a light dish, chicken, fish and salads. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice and some garlic can be a great low-calorie sauce which is full of flavour. With only 4 calories per tablespoon of lemon juice, you don’t need to worry about going over your calorie restrictions by adding a sauce. You can add lemon juice to some olive oil, with salt and pepper too, for a light and calorie conscious vinaigrette.
Other citrus fruits such as oranges can be used for low-calorie sauces and they are great for helping you get some Vitamin C into your diet. Much like lemon juice, you can add orange juice to olive oil and season it for a summery citrus dressing, perfect for salads. With 7 calories per tablespoon of orange juice, it is slightly heavier than lemon juice, but not by much.
One of the most effective ways you can bring flavour to a dish on the least amount of calories is to use fresh herbs in your sauces. They have less than one calorie in them, meaning you don’t need to worry about herbs increasing your calorie intake.
Fresh cilantro, basil and parsley are all great fresh herbs to include in your sauces for ounces of flavour in each bite. Not to mention, a little greenery on your plate can do wonders for presentation. You can also use them to garnish your dishes if you feel like going one step further.
A fresh, oil-free chimichurri sauce could be a great idea, especially during the summer when you may want lighter, more flavourful meals. You can find a range of fresh herb sauce recipes that remain under 10 kcal, which should keep you under your calorie intake for your meal.
There are plenty of seasoning blends that you can already buy in most supermarkets, such as italian seasoning or other pre-made seasoning mixes. Most of these will have a high sodium content (salt) which can add unnecessary calories to your diet.
Premade seasoning mixes are great because they are convenient for sauces and preparing your food, and they taste great! No-salt seasoning mixes are relatively easy to come by and can be used in your cooking in a range of ways.
Hot sauce goes with everything! If you’re out of creative ideas to spice up your meal, hot sauce could be the answer. If you love your spice, hot sauce is something you can still enjoy even if you’re watching the calories. Most hot sauces have about 5 calories or less in a teaspoon, so you can kick your meals up a notch without having to worry about your calorie intake.
While broths are not quite sauces, they are more on the soupy side, they are worth touching on as a low-calorie option. Out of all soups, broths have the least amount of calories, while still having a warming and hearty quality. Whether you are using vegetables or meats, broths have a high water content, despite being filled with flavour, which is great for anyone looking to consume fewer calories.
In 100 ml of vegetable broth you would only find about 7 calories, which may sound like a lot, however if your broth is the base of your entire meal, 7 calories is actually very low. If you need more substance in your broth, common fillings and toppings can include noodles, vegetables, meats or fish. Broths and other soups can be great weight-loss options, especially in the winter, as they are hearty and comforting.
Here at Calorie Watchers, we believe that your meals should always taste great, even if you’re watching your calorie count. Which is why our meals, recipes and sauces are created to tantalise your tastebuds without overloading on calories.

Being inexpensive and filling, the popularly classified “comfort food” is one of the most consumed foods and has become a staple worldwide. However, the incredible taste doesn’t seem to agree with health. Pasta is very commonly known to be a high carbohydrate food, making it a health risk in many spheres. Not only does it add to your waistline, but studies have also shown that high levels of carbs contribute to increased chances of diabetes and unfortunately many more health threats. So naturally, the beloved pasta is erased off the menu for those who love themselves more than they love to eat, but wait!

]]>Many believe that while white rice should not be included in the meal plans, brown rice is okay to be added and consumed as a part of a slimming diet. However, that is not completely true. The fact is that all white rice starts from being brown rice. White rice is just brown rice with its bran layer missing and polished to look white and shiny. So, although brown rice is a relatively healthy option with extra fiber content, it still does not qualify as something fit for a rigorous diet plan.
When any kind of white or brown rice does not seem to close the fitness deal, Slim Rice comes in the picture. Made with purified and modified Konjac flour, Slim Rice helps the fitness freaks out there in maintaining or reducing their weight while keeping the original taste intact. The creation of Slim Rice is solely directed towards one single goal of providing zero carbohydrates and helping the ones on a diet with maintaining their ideal body weight. Consisting of only 3 main ingredients- purified water, Organic Konjac Flour, and Organic Oat Fibre- Slim Rice contains zero grams of fat, zero carbohydrates, and no added sugar. One serving of 100 grams contains 4 grams of fiber and a total of 32 kcal.
Yes, what about it? Even though this extremely health-conscious food item is made using some modified and evenly researched ingredients, it is highly stressed that the dish retains the original taste and umami of conventional rice which is eaten worldwide. Slim Rice can be enjoyed the same way as conventional rice dishes- fried, sautéed, boiled, seaweed rice cakes, curry, etc. If an even strict diet plan is being followed, then Slim Rice can be paired with a number of Slim Sauces and Slim Curry as well. The options and ways are never-ending.
For all the rice lovers out there with a knack for taste and fitness both, Slim Rice makes it possible to get it all on one plate. Keeping up with your healthy regiment and savoring the delights of tasty food is possible to do with a bit of control and a collection of Slim Foods in your arsenal. The wheat-free gluten-free product is ideal for people with gluten allergies as well and provides the optimum amount of dietary fibers- a single solution for all healthy food problems.
]]>Amylose and Amylopectin are the two kinds of starch which comprise the chemical structure of rice. The lesser the amount of Amylose in the rice, the stickier it gets. The long-grain rice has a higher amount of Amylose and hence the rice with shorter length is used to make sticky rice. The loss of this compound brings in a loss in nutritional value as well which leads most fitness enthusiasts to eliminate all dishes made using sticky rice from the diet plan. Let’s look into the nutrition list a bit more.
Also called glutinous rice, it is evident that sticky rice is very high in starch. It is the excess release of starch during steaming that sticky rice gets that glue-like texture to them. Sticky rice health benefits include increased bone density, decreased inflammation, improved heart health, etc. The Japanese sticky rice is believed to boost metabolism as well. There are many benefits of the rice- no doubt about that but there are also some drawbacks that come along with the cooking methods and choice of rice.
The kind of rice used to prepare sticky rice is high in Amylopectin. It is the compound that gives it the stickiness. The achieved stickiness is possible due to the release of this same compound when the rice is steamed instead of boiled. The cooking method allows high gluten quality of the sushi rice to get enhanced and hence increases the carbohydrate level of the dish. The loss of Amylose also means that the fiber component of the dish will below.
Sticky rice gets its unique texture by the way it is prepared and by the choice of rice. Losing either one may result in loss of taste and authenticity. Buy maintaining these two does not deem the Chinese sticky rice worthy for a fitness freak. Low-calorie Konjac rice and pasta are the solution to this not so slim task. Eating healthy without compromising with the taste can be made easy with Slim Sticky rice. They can be used as Slim sushi rice or enjoyed with a simple slim pasta sauce. Containing 75% fewer carbohydrates, Slim Sticky Rice eradicates the problem of glutinous rice being a good source of carbs.
]]>Even though dishes like pasta feels amazing on the palate, there are plenty of fitness freaks out there who have sworn by their regiment to not include Pasta as a meal in their plan. The reason is simple- the nutrition chart of pasta is very high on carbs. Not entirely true. Carbs are needed for energy. Not just that, the most commonly available pasta are made with refined flour which contains several other components that are not considered very friendly towards the slimming plans. Let’s have a detailed look.
Pasta- Conventionality Gone Wrong
Figuratively speaking, conventionally used Pasta forms are very heavy on carbohydrates. One serving of 100 grams contains approximately 32 grams of carbohydrates and 158 calories. The high level of carbs is accompanied by 2 grams of fiber. Considering these values, it is very evident that pasta only provides empty carbohydrates to the meals- not very favorable for people considered about what they east throughout the day. High carbs may result in high blood sugar and high gluten can cause an immune reaction for intolerant people. With this many nutritional hazards in the picture, Pasta clearly does not stand the chance of being included in the diet plan of a health freak.
Does Whole Grain Pasta Make A Difference?
In a way, yes. Whole grain pasta is high in fiber and hence provides something substantial to the diet apart from just plain carbohydrates. But even after the increased fiber level, whole-grain pasta stays in the same line as that of refined flour when it comes to carbohydrates and other minerals and vitamins. Flour is pulverized in order to make pasta and make it lose its benefits which foods like whole grains oats, musli, etc. have.
Slim Pasta - An Equally Delicious & Healthy Solution
Slim Pasta Range originally designed and manufactured by Eat Water was made in order to create a healthy and equally tasty alternative to the conventional pasta dishes. Made with a modified version of the popular Japanese Konjac Flour- Juroat has 0 carbs. Juroat C does have some carbs (no drain) and 50% lesser calories in comparison to the conventional or whole-grain forms. It contains double the fibers that the normal pasta has which makes it the best option among all the forms made available to the fitness freaks. Taste is made to stay intact, and the nutrition value is increased as a result of years of rigorous research and development.
]]>Yellow lentils are known to be one of the healthiest vegetarian ingredients- both nutritious and delicious. This vegan yellow lentil curry comes with 2 meal servings along with Eat Water Slim Rice.

Created in Thailand in the 1930s, Pad Thai is one of the most popular dishes from the land. Although the dish was created as a way to rouse nationalism it soon became one of the most liked dishes in Thailand. Although this stir-fried noodle dish is packed with huge servings of carbohydrates and fats. Eat Water’s version of Slim Pad Thai Noodles ranks much higher on the nutrition level and tastes as good as the authentic dish from Thailand itself. The semi-cooked dish contains tofu, Soybean, onions, Chinese radish, peanut meal, tamarind paste, and condiments- everything that a normal version would have.

]]>This is where healthy secondary ingredients come in handy. Just like some vegetables are loaded with carbs and it does not prove to be fruitful to add them in your diet plan, ingredients like dressing sauces and condiments, which are widely used, add up to the carb portion making your slimming meal a futile effort. Eat Water has come up with a solution to this problem with its new line of Slim sauces. They taste the same and are healthier- the perfect combination for a healthy & tasty diet. Slim sauces are made to be low on calories and carbs so that they can complement Slim pasta, noodles, rice, and Slim meals.

There you have all the possible sauces that may need to spice up the taste of your slim meals while cutting back on calories.

Both these sauces have less than 10 calories and taste heavenly due to the added condiments and spices. The low in carbs and containing zero fat, these Slim salad creams are the best way to pick up the taste of your plain salad a notch without making it unhealthy.
Enjoying an occasional pancake or a chocolate-peanut butter sandwich is always a huge part of any diet plan.

]]>Our starting point was 1,640m above sea level- the Machame Route. That’s more than 5 times the height of The Shard. Within a minute of walking, I was already feeling out of breath.
As soon as we were given the green light, we set off with our eyes firm on the prize ahead, a wooden plank scribed with the words ‘congratulations’, the one plank of wood worthy of a selfie. Our end goal for the day was to reach Machame camp, some 2,835m above sea level or 1,200m up from the starting point.
Our journey began at 8am. Our end goal- Shira camp, some 3,750m above sea level. That’s more than 12 times the height of The Shard.
Hiking from Machame camp to Shira camp was like climbing up the Shard 7 times, but on a rocky and steep uphill terrain. As the altitude increased and the air got thinner, I was getting more and more tired. For someone who ran up hills during training days, this was a complete shock to me.
The journey took 9 hours and there was a sense of relief at Shira camp. It was without a doubt the most challenging day of my life.
Later that evening, I discovered my oxygen level was 62% to 74% and my heart rate 114 bpm. I needed to be at least 80% and in the 80s bpm. Coming in and out of the tent was no easy streak. Let’s just say, those 5 short seconds was like a 5-minute jog. In order to increase my oxygen level, I needed to consume another litre of water (5 litres) and start a course of Diamox.
Today is the deal breaker- the journey to Lava Tower. It is 4,600m above sea level, that’s more than 5 times the height of Burj Khalifa. Apparently, if you suffer from altitude sickness today, the chances are, you will not be making the summit night.
Due to my already low oxygen levels, I needed to spend the next 8-9 hours of this journey concentrating on my breathing. I didn’t want to take any chances and I knew this was going to be one hell of a challenge.
When reaching Lava Tower, the entire Kili family was ecstatic. This was the biggest and most important test yet and we all made it. I had no idea what my oxygen levels were, but I couldn’t wait to find out. That evening I found out it was 75% – still not good enough. The clock is ticking. Only two days until summit night.
It may not sound like it, but day 4 was the most fun. Our end goal of the day was Karanga camp via the Barranco Wall, where we had to climb up the mountain with our bare hands. This was a short journey maybe 3 hours long.
That evening my oxygen level finally came through above 80%, but my heart rate was still 114bpm.
We set off very early in the morning for Barafu camp. It was a short journey and we arrived around 12.30pm. We had lunch and dinner and then rested until summit night- 10.30pm. Barfu camp is 4,700m above sea level, that’s almost 6 times the height of Burj Khalifa.
10.30pm – time to prepare: My water bladder was wrapped around a few layers of clothes, with a couple of heat pads on either side; all tucked inside a thermal sack and placed in my day bag. I had to insulate it as much as possible as it can get anywhere between -10 to -20 degrees Celsius. My pouch was loaded with liquid foods, an energy bar and Fisherman Friends mints. I had 3 layers on my head, 2 around my neck, 4 on the top and bottom and 2 around my hand and feet. We were all accompanied by a porter each; the porter with me was called Manuel.
The time- 11pm – time to conquer this little big rock. I continued with the same breathing technique as I did on day 3. It was pitch black and all you could see was light from the headlamp of some 60 odd people. Look down and all you could see was a never-ending trail of lights, like an army of giant two-legged headlamp-wearing ants swarming their way up a rock. The wind was so strong and the air freezing and every nose on that mountain were running like tap water. It was so cold, that the moment a drop of spring water from your nose landed on your jacket, it would turn to ice. Have you ever seen a frozen waterfall, that’s what some people’s philtrum looked like.
The walk felt like it was never ending, you couldn’t see that far ahead. My fingertips were beginning to freeze and I mean really freeze. I had to stop every now and then and rub the tips together in order to keep them warm. I had climbed uphill for 4 hours like this and throughout that time, I didn’t dare ask Manual how far away I was from Stella point. His response would’ve been: “not far”. Ask a porter how far Timbuktu is, and he’ll say “not far”, followed by the magic word “pole pole”. Eventually, I did ask how far we were, and Manuel’s response? You guessed it, “not far”. At this point, my water bladder / hydration system had frozen. I was incredibly tired and I was feeding on Dextrose energy sweets and the liquid food I had. I was stopping for a quick break at any opportunity I could. However, about 30-40mins later I could hear cries of joy coming from the distance, I tried looking but I could see nothing, Stella point was only around the corner. Stella point – 5,685m above sea level. When I arrived at Stella point; with some of the team, you can imagine, after more than 5 + hours of uphill climbing, in -10 to -20 below freezing point; against crazy winds, just how incredibly ecstatic and relieved we were to get here, and very very tired indeed! The sun began to rise, it was around 5.30-5.45am. I felt this sudden surge of adrenaline rush through me. I marched on as though I had only just started for the day. The end goal- Uhuru Peak. 5,895m above sea level, that’s more than 7 times the height of Burj Khalifa. As I was walking along the crater, I realised I was walking too fast. Manuel was still some yards behind me. But I didn’t want to stop I was on a high. I reached Uhuru peak at around 6.20am, I dropped my stick and congratulated the rest of the kili family. The feeling was so overwhelming. These 6 days was the most physically and mentally draining 6 days I have ever experienced. And its sheer difficulty is what made it all the more worth its while. The air in Kilimanjaro is at its thinnest at Uhuru peak, this is where people are prone to becoming delusional, dizzy, confused, not with it. So you can understand if I tell you, that I cannot remember who took the solus photo of me beside the wooden plank scribed with the words ‘congratulations’.
The journey was not over. I had 3 hours of downhill, sandy and rocky terrain ahead. That surge of adrenaline rinsed every ounce of energy left in me. I was so tired and zoned out that at some point I was sand skiing and I didn’t realise. The end goal for the day… Nandos (if only).
]]>Slim Easy pasta is based on a traditional Japanese recipe using organic Konjac flour and organic oat fibre, to make Juroat. This is then shaped into various pastas, noodles and rice.
Juroat contains glucomannan which has been approved by EFSA, as an ingredient to help aid weight loss. This exciting product was recently awarded the much sought-after ‘Best Weight Management Product Healthy Award 2016’.
Slim Easy is available at Holland & Barrett, a number of independent health stores and online.
When you fancy a quick, satisfying diet snack, try the Slim Lunchbox range. These yummy pots of spaghetti, rice, noodles and flat noodles are gluten free, low in sugar, contain no artificial colours, flavours, or preservatives, and are guilt-free as they contain around 87% less carbs than traditional pasta. The best news of all is that they help you lose weight!
Slim Lunchbox is available online.

These noodles and pasta don’t taste of anything and nicely bulk up your meat dish. Tonight I made bolognese with penne, having the pasta made it seem like a regular meal. Moreover, it’s about 5 hours since I ate and I’m still stuffed. Last night I used the noodles in a homemade low carb Pad Thai- recipe coming soon! One packet will easily feed two low carbers- they’re quite filling and high in fibre.
There is one thing that’s worth pointing out, when you initially open the packet the product smells slightly off. This is due to the brine it’s packaged in. It’s easily taken care of though- just pour out the water contained in the packet and rinse the noodles or pasta under cold water for a few minutes.
You can find out more on the Eat Water website, which also has a handy store locator.
]]>As far as convenience food goes, these Eat Water products are pretty healthy with only 9 calories per 100g, and since they are vegan, gluten, sugar and wheat free they are suitable for most diets. I wasn’t sure what to expect from them and to be honest they do taste pretty bland on their own, but when served with a curry or used in a stir-fry they taste a lot better because they soak up the flavours from the sauce. For a speedy meal idea they are great, but I would rather just buy and eat the real thing, but I can see how helpful they can be for someone who is on a low-carb diet and looking to lose weight or for those searching for a gluten-free option to traditional rice and noodles.
]]>Pasta and rice are favourite foods for carb-lovers; scrummy, filling and easy to prepare. But for those trying to lose weight, they would usually be seen as a no-no. However, did you know that there is a high-fibre alternative that looks and feels like actual pasta, rice or noodles, but is carb-free and has an unbelievably low calorie count of around 9 calories per 100g serving? Made from juroat, it leaves you feeling full and content for up to four hours, so you avoid snacking and are less likely to put on weight. Amazingly, 100g of juroat spaghetti contains virtually 0 grams of carbohydrates, whereas 100g of wheat-based spaghetti contains around 70g of carbohydrates. The key ingredient, konjac, has been eaten by the Japanese for centuries – and they appreciate its translucence and chewy bite.
However, we prefer the new and improved juroat recipe, which combines organic konjac flour and organic oat fibre that is shaped into pasta, noodles or rice. That’s because juroat looks a lot more like regular pasta, noodles and rice and has an al dente bite. The konjac in juroat also contains glucomannan, which is rich in soluble fibre and has been approved by the European Food Safety Authority as an ingredient to help aid weight loss. This fat-free, sugar-free, gluten-free and GMO-free alternative is safe for weight watchers, diabetics and coeliacs alike. It comes in easy-to-use packets – ready to enjoy with your favourite pasta sauces, knowing there are next to no carbs in it. And there are ready meals available which are great for busy folk who don’t have time to make and pack themselves lunches.
]]>Best bit: It was great not to have think about what to cook and so quick and easy to pop them in the microwave when I got home from work. They were fantastic for fast days as I was on the 5:2 diet.
Worst bit: They did get a bit repetitive at times so I ended up having to have a few days’ break between them.
Overall impression: As someone who does shift work, I often get in late and these were great as I didn’t have to wait long until dinner! They were surprisingly filling and really helped on my fasting days.
