There are THOUSANDS of responses if you searched this topic.

As long as you have no medical need to do so forget about sugar.

When they take fat out of foods something else goes in..hello sugar lol ive noticed this too..not much a problem long as your not taking in mass quantities ..especially being younger

The sugars on MFP are added sugars. If you're going over from fruits and veggies, not to worry. Macros are the three main nutrients in your diet: Carbs, Protein, Fat

I'm not that young lol I am almost 27. I try not to eat ready made foods but sometimes jarred sauces are a quick convenient option bit I do realise these have tons of added sugars. Most of my sugars do come from fruits and vegs I think

Are macros important?

Unless you have a medical reason to monitor your sugar intake, don't worry about it.

Thank you. I don't know my way around this at all as I haven't even using it for long. I don't have any medical reason but thought too much sugar was bad for fat loss?
