I've tried putting Tzatziki Sauce on my yams and found it was really good that way. I was wondering if its alright to eat a little Tzatziki Sauce like that. Here is the Nutrional breakdown of what I have:
Calories- 25
Fat- 2.5g
Sat Fat- 1.5g
Cholesterol- 5mg
Sodium- 80mg
Carb- 1g
Sugars- 0g
What do you think?

Do you just buy that in a store? Looks good nutritionally. I have made this before, but I use plain yogurt which has some sugar in it. Good stuff.

Thanks Jodi! Also, does broccoli florets naturally have some sugar in it? My wife bought a bag of broccoli florets and it has 2g of sugar. Is that bad then?

No thats fine. SOme things are going to have some sugars in them including your healthy veggies and carbs. Don't worry about it all. Broccoli is great for you

I make it myself, though my recipe is actually the Turkish version of tzaziki, called cacik (jah-jik).
In a food processor, dice a couple small pieces of garlic, a cup of fresh mint and half a cup of fresh Italian parsley. Squeeze in the juice of half a lemon, add salt and pepper, then blend in a large tub of fat-free plain yogurt. Goes perfectly with kebabs and roasted veggies, and tastes best after two days in the fridge....

Most food has sugar. Just have to choose the right foods so you wont go overboard.

Yeah, once I tried eating food without sugar I was overwhelmed with everything that did have sugar. I never looked to see sugar, just fat and carbs. I used to do slim-fast when I was losing weight- 35g of sugar!!! I think I'm doing good eating foods w/out sugar though, just kinda limited.
