I'm not on atkins, but I'm a prolific label reader. Most tomato sauces contain sugar or HFCS.

Yes, most "tomato sauce" is counted as vegetable because, added sugar or not, it is mostly tomatoes. Besides sugar it may also have added oil and protein depending on who made the sauce, but the concentration should be mostly tomatoes.

Thanks for the help....I didn't want to count it if I shouldn't
my recipe only has 8 oz. for 8 servings, so not too bad.
