Calories in Honey
Honey vs sugar: the calories are closer than people think
What makes honey so powerful?
Honey is about 304 calories per 100 g, a bit lower than table sugar's 387 because it contains water. A tablespoon (about 21 g) is around 64 calories, nearly all sugar. It tastes sweeter than sugar so you may use less, but it does not make sugar disappear from your total. Honey should not be given to infants under 12 months.
Measure a teaspoon at a time, and count it like any added sugar.
