It's because body fat percentage is simply a ratio of fat mass to lean mass. You don't carry a lot of fat but you also have very little muscle mass so it in effect makes the percentage higher than if you had more lean tissue with the same amount of fat.
Don't worry about the sugar. Almost all carbs will be broken down to glucose, a simple sugar, in the GI tract anyway. There's no downfall to eating sugar or a lot of carbs as long as you are not diabetic or have some other pathological condition. Relax, eat, and move on.Like success, failure is many things to many people. With a positive mental attitude, failure is a learning experience, a rung on the ladder, a plateau at which to get your thoughts in order and prepare to try again. - W. Clement Stone

200 sugar?? Explain that with the 415 carbs. Did you add the sugar to your carbs to get the total of 415? Sugar is a carb.
More importantly:
When did you start bulking? If it was recently, did you go right into eating 3100 cals? If so, you may want to restart possibly. When going into a bulk it is better, for some people (like myself), to slowly add more calories each week.
For instance: Start one week at maintenance, then add 100 or 200 calories each week until you reach your caloric goal for your bulk

Bro. If anything, you should be eating THAT much while following a consistent workout program.
You need to bulk badly.
You're not FAT at all. You're skinny. Sorry to say it bluntly.
Look at me. Look at it. Look at me. I consider myself skinny as hell. I was 135 lbs and I thought I was so skinny that I had to hop on the bulktrain.

OP you are way too skinny man. You should be eating that amount of calories daily (made up of more protein and less sugar obviously), but please do not think you are fat. Sit down and talk to someone, preferably a professional, about how you feel about your body, and you'll be one of the great transformation stories on here in no time.

The sugar listed on calorie counts aren't just added sugars. It just means that there is that of all the grams of carbohydrates in the food, that many grams were in the monosaccharide form. Take fruit for an example. I just had an apple. It had 23 grams of carbs, 17 of which was sugar due to fructose and glucose. All foods are like this, not just the foods with added sugar such as candy. Eventually it just adds up. It's no big deal though.
It's nothing you even need to pay attention to. I routinely get 500 grams of carbs with 200 being sugars, most of which are not added sugars at all. It doesn't matter though because the body is going to break them down to the monosaccharide form before they are absorbed anyway. Just track protein, carbs, and fats. Anything more is really just overanalyzing.Like success, failure is many things to many people.

Yes I know polyunsaccharides and disaccharides are broken down to mono or should I say glucose...what I was trying to say was there's no need to count individual types of sugars or sugars at all if your counting carbs. It would have made more sense that the 200 g was from protien not sugar which is why I thought he may have miss typed or made an error. Even if it was meant to say 200 g protein that would come out to 3495 calories which is more than what he listed. If not that then 2695 calories from everything and 408 calories from protein which would give him only 102 grams of protein.
