I am continually over my sugar goal. It's not because of added sugar it's because of all the fruit I eat. Is this ok?

    if your sugar goal is 1,000 a day - then that's too high
    are you keeping within your daily calories - then you are ok.

    MFP set the goal for me automatically. It is 45 grams a day

    I don't track sugar for that reason. Swap it out for fiber. :)

    nobody knows, unless you can find a population study with your levels of consumption.

    OK In what way?

    As long as you maintain your calorie deficit, you'll lose weight, regardless of sugar.

    The only way I would consider this to be "not OK" is if:
    1) You have some sort of medical condition that requires you to keep your sugar intake low or
    2) You're SO FAR over your sugar/carb goal that you aren't getting sufficient minimum amounts of protein or dietary fat in your diet

    There are a variety of sugar recommendations. There are some folk who are sensitive to sugar and choose to eat no added sugar and select foods that have lower amount of naturally occurring sugars. If your doctor said lower sugar then less fruit (berries are the best for fibre)can be a choice, as can no cereals or breads or potatoes. If not, fruit has some great nutrients and makes a tasty colourful addition. No rules other than finding what helps you stay full and feel healthy, so whatever you do can be sustainable.
