Fruit and natural sugars

shawnkturner

Hi, question to any nutritional experts out there. I love fruit, case in point, I ate a punnet of grapes for breakfast this morning! MFP gives a warning about the sugars I'm consuming. While for a breakfast this was around 300 calories, should I be worried about too much sugar? For info I don't consume any other sugar other than what is naturally in food (I.e no sugary drunks, sweets etc.)
Grateful for your thought's

Unless you have some sort of medical condition that requires you to watch your sugar intake, don't worry about it. You can actually go in and turn off those little messages from MFP. I've done that because I view my fat goal as a minimum and got tired of MFP harping on me about hitting my fat limit for the day.

Unless you have some particular sensitivity (such as diabetes or other) to sugar, no.

No...No harm at all...

I'm in 1200 calories aday...and I am only concerned about being at this goal or slightly lower, in many circumstances the message appear about sugars but I neglect it ...because I eat lots of dates throughout the day, and dates are full of sugars..but natural sugar .Na dmy weight loss is not interrupted at all...untill now hopefully

The only harm done is if you eat enough fruit to exceed your calorie goal each day, or eat fruit to the exclusion of of other nutritional needs like protein.

Balance is important.

Yep--if you are getting enough protein and fat and within your calories, doesn't matter.

Just fruit for breakfast wouldn't work for me, but if it does for you, go for it!

Thanks for the replies. Good to have it confirmed so I'll continue to ignore the notifications. I get enough protein through either meat or diet whey (only on the days I'm working away) it was just the natural sugars that I'm querying as that's what I seem to be over quite regularly.

Cheers! Shawn

I replaced tracking sugar here with tracking fibre, instead. Since I track carbs anyway and I have no medical reason for specifically limiting sugar, it was a bit redundant.
