    I'm not sure that's relevant. I'm bacon you to stay on topic!

    Bacon? That's definitely not relevant... but that sparkly stuff? That's definitely sugar.

    OP unless you are doing this:

    Then you don't have a problem with sugar. Eat the marshmallows and biscuits in moderation. You'll be fine.

    Sorry, friends! I came into this conversation late and saw a video of a cute little girl snapping her fingers. I quoted it with +10000. I didn't realize this person was being "modded"? (new word for me). I sincerely just liked his video. I thought she was adorable. :weary:

    To the OP, I eat ice cream almost every night. Make room for it in your calorie allowance and have some. Also, unless you have a medical issue, there is no reason to track sugar. It is a carb. Carbs are already tracked. Change your food diary setting to track something else, like fiber or iron.

    I did that. I eat a small freighter load of fruit everyday and although my carbs were in the green, I was off the charts in sugar. Now I track fibre.

    I usually take it as my body's crude way of saying it needs water or something nutritious. To obey, I drink some water, eat something minor like nuts or cheese that have some nutrient value and wait a bit to see if the craving persists.

    If the craving persists, your choice!

    As long as you're not forgoing nutritious foods for your main meals, OP, some sugar at the end of the day or for a little snack is fine. If you're staying within your goals, and you're getting your nutrient needs met? Live a little.

    That never happened. I don't know what you're talking about.

    I like how people are like, "A little sugar is fine!" No, OP is saying she eats a ton of sugar. And so do I. And that's fine as long as we're within our goals.

    Where did she say that? This is exactly what she said, and I don't think she's been back since.

    I've found recently that I am really craving sugar! I stay well within my calories but it's mainly sweet snacks such as marshmallows and biscuits. Anyone else have this problem and what I can do to stop it lol

    Also did this thread get shut down for a while? What happened? The peeps finally fought back, didn't they @tincanonastring ?

    Yeah I wouldn't go as far as a 'ton' of sugar, let's call it 45-50 % of my daily calories which I think is a lot but I am having proper meals too. I'm not having biscuits for dinner , I'm new to this so I'm not sure about my thread being shut down or anything : / I appreciate everyone's feedback on this though so thanks

    I have no recollection of those events, Mr. Senator.

    I mean, 45-50% IS a lot. She said regarding her calories that "it's mainly sweet snacks such as marshmallows and biscuits." Maybe I'm just thinking everyone is me, lol. I might have read it wrong, too.

    1 ton of sugar is 907,184 grams, which works out to about 3,628,738 calories. Yeah, you might want to cut back.

    If that fits your macros, chances are your protein requirements could depopulate a state's wildlife population.
