If sugar is broken down into glucose(carbohydrate) then surely the sugar should be included into the carbohydrate calculation and carry a an energy value or caloric value and not separate from the carbohydrate. Basically wouldn't your daily caloric intake always be different base on your sugar intake because the sugars energy value is not added to the daily calorie intake, its just of measurement of how much sugar you taking in. I hope I am making some sense in trying to get my point through and question answered Thanks
