i'm neutral on sugar, i just wanted to mention to anyone reading the previous review that this is for 1 TABLESPOON. there are 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon. 5 calories isn't that big of a difference--that's an altoid.

i have Domino's sugar, and it's 10cals per 1tsp. so i really can't use the one that's already in your food database.
sorry.
too bad we can't add our own items and info. or at least do so easily.

This is the standard Sugar item in the database, the one that is just "Sugar" (not "Sugar, Granulated", e.g.), and the one that comes up as the first search hit. But it's wrong.
One tablespoon of sugar cannot have only 1g of Carbs, and could hardly have only 35 Cals. Neither would 1g Carb be anything like 35 Cals.
If we have to change it anyway, why not adopt the industry standards? Nearly all brands of common granulated table sugar use a serving size of either one teaspoon (1 tsp.) or one tablespoon (1 tbsp.).
If we list teaspoons, it should be 4g Carbs and 15 Cals. If tablespoons, 12g Carbs and 45 Cals.
Here are some URLs with evidence of 1 tsp., 4g Carbs, 15 Cals.:
