Something else about the ketchup (and any other food that you eat out). You say "very little". It's impossible to measure exactly how much ketchup you are eating. The BK burgers have about 3.8 net carbs from the ketchup alone. Even if you eat only part of this, it's something you cannot properly measure. It's not like in cured bacon, which probably has something like 0.1 g per slice or mayo---3.8 g of sugar can do significantly more damage.

"The truth is that temptation lurks everywhere, unless you deny yourself a social and working life and the attendant pleasures of eating out. I believe that the best way to overcome temptation is not with willpower, which is so often in short supply, but with our brain power, a potentially unlimited resource.
Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!"
