Can honey make you fat?

Hi, I am trying to reduce my sugar intake and want to substitue honey for it. I just want to know if honey can make you gain weight, just like sugar.

Same amount of calories and have the same effect on your blood sugar, so they are equal. Moderation is key, too much of ANYTHING that has ANY kind of energy will make u fat. Dont worry so much about fat, worry about which is healthier. Honey has MANY medicinal purposes, it is a great purifier. Honey is great for ur health, much better than sugar, no effect on fat but definitley worth switching.

Honey does not have fat to begin with. What makes you fat from eating it is if you eat too much of it and don't work out then the rugar in the honey turns into fat. That is how you gain weight. That goes for any sort if sugar, work out then you burn the calories so it does not turn to fat. Hope that helps you.

No, honey doesn't have any fat in it. It's pretty much all sugar. One tablespoon has 64 kcals and 17 carbs. It also has a small amount of calcium, potassium, and a very small amount of protein. Most importantly, it's delicious, so eat away (in moderation of course!)

Honey is better than other processed sweetener. Hence Honey is very sweet you may use less and Honey has a mild slimming effect.

Well, yes, it is another kind of sugar. In moderation, sugar is ok; substituting honey will have no benefit. There is a product called Stevia which is avaialble from health food stores, which I believe is low in calories and much sweeter than sugar.
