When watching your calories, it's important to note all sweeteners in foods, not just table sugar (sucrose).
Sugars add calories quickly and dense sweeteners can boost sugar levels very quickly.

A sirupy or white crystalline variety of sugar.
Dextrose and levulose are obtained by the inversion of cane sugar or sucrose, and hence are called invert sugars. Dextrose is chiefly obtained by the action of heat and acids on starch, and hence called also starch sugar. It is also formed from starchy food by the action of the amylolytic ferments of saliva and pancreatic juice.
The solid products are known to the food production trade as grape sugar. The sirupy products are known as glucose or mixing sirup. These are harmless, but are only about half as sweet as cane or sucrose (table sugar).
Dextrose is also known as dextroglucose, glucose, and grape sugar.
