there isn't much I dislike maybe rude and aggressive people
My breakfast this morning was Nixe - Mackerel Fillets In Tomato Sauce the reading on myfitnesspal was 5 g Carbs & 5 g sugar not quite understanding the significance of this please advise. Thanks

@Viv0147 Looks like it has 5g of carbs, all of which is sugar. A little sugar is often added to tomato sauces, I've found.
 
I see labels on times saying 12 carbs 3 of which is sugar well the remaining 9 carbs I believe turn into sugar this is what I can't get my thick head around.

I know,it can be confusing but the easiest thing to do is ignore the sugar figure and just work on the total carbs because they become sugar anyway.
 
That sounds very good advice thank you
