Hey mense...

1. Packet sauces (i.e. The Royco or Knorr ones that you add boiling water to), do they add a lot of calories(outside of what the label says)? I am asking as I saw a guy punting zero or low calorie sauces.
2. When you cook chicken breasts, should they ONLY be grilled, or is it ok to fry them in like a teaspoon of olive oil?
3. When cooking aforementioned chicken breasts, is it ok to use some salt and pepper?

This is all from a weightloss perspective.

1.what do you mean outside the label? it contains a shat load of crappy carbs, but all sauces differ.
2.Yes. you can fry it in some olive oil.
3.Yes

sauces depends on your goals, I am bulking so I use them when I am cutting I avoid them like the plague

you can fry them just use spray and cook rather and don't be liberal with it

salt does cause water retention so once again it is goal dependent

I personally feel olive oil is fine especially if you are making a protein + fat (0 carbs) meal. Hell, you can basically dip them in olive oil!
Pepper is fine. Salt you have to decide for yourself. If your diet is low in sodium then go ahead, but it you are sensitive to salt or hypertensive, then try be sparing. Try some thyme rather, it goes really well with chicken

Bandito's peri-peri sauces are very low in carbs (like 1.8g per 100ml or something). Someone on the forum also mentioned some of Nando's peri-peri sauces (but not all of them). DJ also said Dijon mustard is ok when on keto, given it is taken in small quantities.

no man keto is ok. i love the prot and fats. i find its allot to do with your mindset.

If working on body and character doesnt cost you something its woth noting. If criticism is all that proceed out of your mouth then know that is how you feel about yourself and depicts the health of your soul.

I add some "lite salad dressing" to all my meals. It contains something like 4g carbs and 5g fat per 100ml. It really made the world of diff to my meals. 10-15ml changes the taste of the meal allot. If you are really anal about it (like me) you can figure it into your daily nutrient intake and cut minute amounts somewhere else
