Sugar

I noticed that at the bottom of the page it says -33 under Sugar- but I have like 990 calories left to eat, do I avoid food with sugar?

Meat and veggies mostly

at that point, i try to eat stuff that's generally well-balanced, even if it has more sugar in it. i'll try to get some protein, and i'll also up my water intake. i feel like that helps even it out -- might not be an exact science, though, lol!

I went waay over my Sugar intake I thought Calories includes Sugar, Carbs, Proteins and Fats?

It doesn't matter if you went over your sugar intake. Unless you have some sort of genetic disposition where sugar causes a negative reaction in your body then it's not going to matter as long as you're under your calorie goal. If you're under your calorie goal then those sugars are going to do the same thing a complex carbohydrate would do....which is break down into simple sugars and get stored as liver glycogen, muscle glycogen and get used to fuel your organs.
