The amount is the same, but calories per 100 g differ.

Sauces: Ketchup → Mayonnaise
  • Same two tablespoons beside the plate: ketchup is mostly tomato and sugar (~100 kcal/100 g), mayonnaise is ~70–80% fat (~700 kcal/100 g) — a sevenfold density gap in an identical dollop.
  • Nobody weighs a condiment, which is exactly why this gap hides in plain sight meal after meal.
