About Gravy, au jus, canned
Au jus — French for "with juice" — is not a thickened gravy at all but a thin, clear beef serving sauce, the savory pan juices from a roast. Canned au jus brings that same light, beefy character in a pourable form, most famous as the dip for a French dip sandwich.
Because it skips the flour and fat that thicken a true gravy, it is by far the lightest option here: only about 16 calories per 100 grams, with around 1.2 grams of protein, barely any fat and a couple of grams of carbohydrate. That makes it a good way to add deep, roasted flavor and moisture without the calories of a creamy gravy.
The trade-off with au jus is usually salt — much of its flavor comes from a concentrated, savory beef base, and many packaged and restaurant versions are quite salty even when the calories stay low. It is worth checking the label if you are watching sodium.
