Lipids are not a carbohydrate. Lipids are lipids.

Lipids include fats, waxes, sterols, fat-soluble vitamins, monoglycerides, diglycerides, triglycerides, and phospholipids.

Sugar includes monosaccharides galactose, lactose, and fructose and other saccharides. These are carbohydrates characterized by a sweet flavor. In most cases and in common use sugar almost exclusively refers to sucrose (glucose + fructose).

There are no compounds which are in both groups save glycolipids, lipids with carbohydrate side-chains.
