Answers:

Marinara and vegetable sauces have about 60 to 80 calories in 1/2 cup!. Pesto is made with basil, pine nuts, olive oil and Parmesan cheese, which is why a ? cup has about 300 calories!. If the marinara sauce has cheese it has more calories so your best bet is to order marinara but ask for no cheese

Oh wow I'm shocked so many told you pesto here look what I got for you
