I'm referring to the practice of eating breaded chicken ("nuggets" and/or "fingers"/"tenders") with copious amounts of ketchup. I think a lot of people have a blindspot to the nutrition of condiments, they view it as something neutral like a little bit of black pepper. Or in the specific case of ketchup, they think it counts as a vegetable. But the truth is ketchup is basically just a bunch of sugar. For the same volume it has something like half the calories of maple syrup. You wouldn't scarf down half a cup of maple syrup with your dinner, but I've seen people practically drink the equivalent in ketchup. I doubt it's healthy no matter how active you are.
