Meaning if over consumed it can be stored it glycogen (fat). I've seen this all too much with people, thinking that because I'm eating fruit and it's "healthy sugar" it's okay. Yes it is, but like with anything keeping a mindful manner of quantity is important. Sugar is where you'll gain weight and lose weight the most, it's more important to be hitting your calorie goal, so if you're trying to lose weight being in a deficit.
