                                While garlic itself contains minimal calories, the sugar and oil commonly used in Chinese garlic sauces can significantly increase the total caloric content. For instance, a single restaurant-style sauce serving might exceed 200 calories, largely due to added sugars and fats. Understanding what influences these numbers is key to making healthier choices.
