Struggling to stay within my sugar limit

You hit the MFP "sugar limit" very easily on "useful" foods. I'm already at 68 grams for the day and it's an hour before dinner (and I don't care; I had to go look it up). I've had a small serving of grapes, a cup of milk (with protein powder in it) post-workout, a bunch of veggies and a turkey sandwich with more veggies. The only "unuseful" sugar I've had was the marmalade on the almond butter on my toast - but I can't tolerate nut butter without something to prevent it sticking to my mouth, so I even consider that sugar useful. Besides, it was less than 15 grams of sugar since it was only 15 grams of marmalade. So I got over 50 grams without it.
The MFP "sugar limit" is completely useless since it has no way of distinguishing between "sugar that comes with fiber and micronutrients" and refined sugar. It's not even useful for diabetics because it doesn't include simple starches.
I think Sued0nim referred to the sugar tracking as useless, not foods containing sugar, so you do agree with her0 -
Just make sure they aren't "added" sugars. I go over from my coffees because of the sugar in milk, I don't count that0
