    I have been logging on for a week now but am struggling to keep my sugars in the green , they go into -15 or whatever . What can I do ?
    Eat more veg?

    Banana is the highest sugar fruit.
    Except for mangos, at least.

    not according to my data.
    It is according to USDA data.
    You should check out lychees and figs...
    No doubt. I don't eat figs, though. I do eat mango.

    Thanks, yer seem to manage on my calories and everything else. Will be weighing in in the morn so will see if have lost anything here's hoping.

    Keep us posted! I'm one of the people who swapped out tracking sugar to tracking fiber. For me it works a little bit better than seeing the red sugar every day. Most of my sugar is from fruits/veggies so I didn't really worry about it.

    depends on variety / origin I guess, as there are bananas and bananas.

    If you want to reduce sugars, grain based foods, fruits, and veggies grown under ground usually have higher sugars. Those are the foods to watch. Drinks are often high in sugar too, so watch out for sugars in milks, juices and soda.

    Veggies that are green and leafy, or grown on bushes or vines, are usually lower in sugar. Eating them raw keeps the accessible sugars a tad bit lower too.

    Berries are the lowest sugar fruits. Just eat them in moderation and not by the bowl full to keep their sugar count lower. If you are eating higher sugar fruits, you can always eat just part of the fruit at a time. Half a banana or apple may be enough for a snack.

    Best wishes.
