Q: How many calories are supplied by 1 teaspoon of sugar?

A: Sugar, whatever the source (brown, white) is similar in calories. Brown, unprocessed sugar just has a few more trace minerals, vitamins and is just a little better for you than white sugar.
The amount of calories in sugar is:
- 1 teaspoon (4g) = 15 calories
- 1 tablespoon (12g) = 45 calories
- 1 cup (250g) = 770 calories
- 1 ounce (28g) = 105 calories
