So I'm already well over my sugar allowance for the day.
I had an orange, banana & clementine for breakfast, went to the gym and now for lunch I'm having a banana, Orange and rice cake and I'm over my allowance.

Is there good & bad sugar? Is fruit sugar ok?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

    sugar = sugar

    unless you have a medical condition that makes you sensitive to sugar there is no reason to limit it.

    Also, the MFP sugar recommendation is ridiculously low. I really do not pay attention to it.

    If you eat in a deficit you will lose weight, regardless of sugar intake.

    OK great, thanks very much.
    I just keep hearing everywhere sugar is bad but conversely to eat lots of fruit?
    Gets a bit confusing.

    And yep I've been pretty strict.

    Have lost 3st (42lb) since August and been going to the gym and eating salads and stir frys....and lots of fruit
    Have a couple of treats a week but go to the gym 4-5 times s week so keeping on top of it.

    Also have MFP set to 1300 calories a day

    Thanks for the info.
