When it comes to calorie counts on menus as a nudge to eat more healthily, it is clear to me that a large proportion of calories in some meals are in the sauce. Restaurants don’t mind showing the inflated calorie count because it doesn’t deter the average customer. Having studied energy balance in obesity, for me the answer is simple: hold the sauce (30 November, p 14).
