    Hi sugar diets have been linked to the increase of belly fat or the slow down of loss of belly fat due to high blood glucose levels. I try to keep my sugar as low as possible and try to balance everything out.

    Macros are your macro nutrients: carbs, protein, and fat. Hitting your macros refers to getting the right balance of these three nutrients, keeping in mind that the "right" balance will vary from person to person depending on their personal goals. MFP suggests default numbers for these, but they're just a suggestion and you can edit them as you see fit.

    Since sugar is a form of carbohydrates, as long as you're hitting your macros (based on your personal macro goals) and getting enough fat and protein, your sugars should naturally stay fairly in balance.
