Why might sugar goals vary day to day

I track sugar. I was surprised to see that the sugar goal for me in MFP varies from day to day, sometimes substantially. Example: I'm on a 1,500-calorie-a-day goal, yet my sugar goal, according to MFP, can be 87 grams one day but only 55 the next. Why would it change like that?

Exercise calories increases goal calories and the macro splits generate higher targets for each component.0

I don't think that's it. I burn similar exercise calories every day (hour of cardio), but it might be. If you burn more exercise calories does your sugar goal then go up?0

Thank you for explaining this. Makes sense. I don't go by the extra allowance on sugar. I try to keep it between 30 and 40 grams a day. Then I can have days like today, where I had fresh peach, Blueberries and even ice cream. The hour and 20 minutes of cardio gave me extra sugar grams - 85 total. I ended the day at 80.0
