How many calories are in sugar?

Answer by  Gregor (36)

Sugar has roughly 4-4.5 calories per gram. Since honey contains sugar and other non-sugar components, the calorie content is about 80% of pure sugar. So regarding calories, sugar is worse than honey.

sugar is a pure carbohydrate, which has 4 carbs per gram. Honey SHOULD be pure sugar in a different form, which is the same thing. Most honey is not natural, so it has less because of the additives. Still, it's around the same as sugar.
