Soy Sauce - How Many Calories?

Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Soy Sauce

• Metabolic Effect: Soy sauce is a fermented product that adds flavor to dishes. Thanks to the amino acids it contains, it can be a mild source of protein, but it should not be seen as a basic nutrient.
• Consumption Recommendation: Use a small amount to add flavor to your meals. It enhances the flavor especially when used with vegetables or grilled meats. It can be preferred instead of salt, but it is important not to overdo it.
• Things to Consider: Due to its high sodium content, it should be consumed carefully by individuals with high blood pressure or sodium restriction. Alternatively, low-sodium soy sauces can be preferred.
• Exercise Equivalent: It is enough to walk at a light pace for about 5 minutes to burn the calories in a tablespoon of soy sauce. You can easily burn these calories during your daily activities.
