It's 8 and I'm having a sweet craving

I havnt had one for such a long time and I just ate a mango (24g of sugar) 107 cal and 80 cals worth of almonds. I'm still under my calories but was just wondering...
1. Okay to eat fruit at night when losing weight?
2. If I eat sugar at night, should I just try to get in last minute exercise to burn it off?
3. Is fruit sugar much harder to burn than just any other calorie or sugar in general? I know it's healthier but does it take lot more to burn off sugar than just burning off the calories it's worth? (Ex: an Apple has idk 25g of sugar and is 100cal, would I need to 200 cals or something to burn it off entirely?)

1. When you eat doesn't matter for weight loss.
2. When you exercise, you aren't burning off what you just put in your stomach.
3. Sugar is sugar, your body doesn't know or care where it came from. Sugar has calories, your body burns calories. A calorie is a unit of energy, if you eat 100 and burn 100, you come out even.

For weight loss, only calories matter. Not when or what.

Like Alatariel says, you're not burning off what you just consumed when you exercise, and you could have unintended consequences like nausea or being unable to sleep later if you try to burn it off. I would reconsider the idea that you should burn off what you've eaten--sounds like the road to exercise bulimia. You burn a certain number of calories just going about your day, and you are currently eating less than that number. So no need to burn off calories, even if you ate over your daily allowance.

All of the above.

It doesn't matter what time you eat fruit, sugar, or any other kind of food.

For weight loss, only the number of calories matter.
