Except for that your biological expectations should be that sweet foods are relatively slow calories. We've co-evolved over millions of years to get sugar from fruit and other complex carbs. Refined sugar has only existed for a couple thousand years, and has only been ubiquitous for a few hundred years.
To the extent that your body is expecting a quick rush of calories after eating something sweet, that's only because your body is very reactive based on your prior eating habits, not because that makes any sense from an evolutionary perspective.
