I realize the source doesn't matter, but sugar is a sneaky way to make something more calorically dense than it would be otherwise. Basically an extra 4 grams here, going more heavy-handed than you meant to with the coffeemate, an extra 10 grams there, and you can easily add 200 calories without noticing, while still putting a normal amount of food on your plate. If you accidentally grab the original Mott's Apple Sauce instead of the natural, you add 40 calories. That adds up over time when you're not watching your food labels like a hawk (for clarity, I think that is the problem for people who are marginally overweight or "skinnyfat." Butterbeasts make a consistent effort to eat way more food than a normal human would that can't be chalked up to just not reading the label).

Yeah I see what you're saying. It's definitely easier to add more sugar than fat
