      What about the carbs? Idk why we list carbs and sugars as different things when carbs are just simple sugars.

        Simple sugars are carbs with one (monosaccharide) or two (disaccharide) sugar molecules. They literallly are sugars. If you are attempting to assert that all non complex carbohydrates are sugars, you are wrong. A potato or a serving of pasta is not at all like a candy bar. Bros science diets might be bad for your brain, btw.

          When it comes to getting fat calories are calories. Carbs will make you fat just as easily as sugar. So talking about whether coffee or a doughnut is bad for you by sugar content not calories is misleading.
