    sugar is sugar no matter where it comes from.

    What do you mean by that?

    I would guess they mean that all sugar whether free or added is treated the same way by the human body.

    And they'd be right.

    Why is it relevant to the topic? The OP is getting too many calories. Sugar isn't going to hinder him if he is in a deficit, so not sure why he mentioned it.

    It may not have been the best way of phrasing it but, given the follow-up sentence about how there are surprisingly many calories in many foods, I took it as trying to point out that there is sugar (and therefore calories) in fruit so you need to log the fruit accurately. Many people - especially those with a Weight Watchers background - think that they don't need to log fruit and vegetables. If the OP falls into this category, it would explain the lack of weight loss.
