Diary tonight my hamburger…

Was listed as 100 grams of sugar which put me way over my limit. Any thoughts ? I’m sure it doesn’t it seems I need to choose a little different food since I make my calories goal then I review and other nutrition levels are over.

100g sugar sounds way too much. However, if the bun is a brioche like bread (or even a typical American bread), it will contain a high amount of sugar. So might any dressing (Ketchup definitely). 100g however sounds wrong. 100g are 20 teaspoons or 3 cans of soda.

Thank you but I did the bun and condiments separately. And I think my days of 3 sodas are gone. Must be a glitch somewhere.

You picked an inaccurate database entry(ies)

guaranteed.

Did you compare the entries you chose against the packaging of the item?

Nonsense. 100g of sugar is a half cup.

To give you an idea of what a higher sugar hamburger bun would run the Nature's Own - Perfectly Crafted Brioche Style Hamburger Buns, 1 bun - which is what i had Saturday night had 32 grams of sugar. My entire burger with condiments (I do not use ketchup but did add sweet relish) had 38 grams of carbs.

if you use mayo, that would also increase it. a lot of sugar is in condiments.

Mayo has almost zero sugar.
