sugar alotment gone at breakfast

This is kind of good to read because although I signed up some time ago have only just really starting getting into MFP this week and every day my sugar count is over. I find that I am often over my protein as well which is very hard to bring into line, all the others I am almost ok with.

I was going over on sugars every day because of fruits, never for anything else since my sugar intake, otherwise, is near zero. I took the useless sugar thing off and replaced it with tracking the much more important cholesterol which I also am typically under but I care more about.

Yogurts are generally full of sugar. Don't be fooled by the "nonfat" label into thinking it's healthy.

Milk has no fructose in it, so no need to worry about it. (The sugar values on the label are measuring lactose.) Fruit does have fructose (duh) but with lots of fibre, so mainly not a big issue. Yoghurt is bad news because it usually has a ton of added sugar. Plain Greek yoghurt is fine if you can stand it. (I can't personally - yoghurt is no fun if it isn't sweet.)

And everyone should be somewhat concerned about sugar, or at least fructose. It is directly linked to insulin resistance, suppresses your grehlin response (stopping you getting full when you eat), and messes with your dopamine pathways.

But most people needn't worry about blowing past MFP's sugar recommendations if it's because you're drinking milk and eating fruit.
