Soy sauce — fermented soybean liquid seasoning.
~8 kcal per tbsp. Sodium-heavy: ~900 mg per tbsp. Tamari is gluten-free version.
Best for
- cutting or high-protein days — 8g protein / 100g at 53 kcal
- meals where you want volume of protein without a fat bomb
Watch out
- restaurant versions that are breaded, sauced, or cooked in oil — the log is for the plain item
- weighing cooked vs raw without matching the database state
How to log it
Prefer weighing soy sauce after cooking if that is how you eat it, or stick to one convention. 1 tbsp (~16g) is the practical unit in the app.
Where it fits the day
Fits as the protein anchor. Pair with a carb and produce so the plate is not only lean protein and boredom.
