As long as it fits within your day- go for it! Me I like to have a treat before bed so I save my sugar until then

If you can fit it into your daily calories, why not? Personally, sugar triggers increased appetite for me so I prefer to limit my sugars early in the day to help control my appetite and prefer to fit it in at the end of the day when I know for sure I've got enough calories left0

I already suppress my appetite I find it even i do some early morning blue berry jam which got some sugar nutrients. It doesnt boost my appetite ☺If you can fit it into your daily calories, why not?

Then why would it not be ok. There is nothing bad about sugar but excessive amounts can cause problems for some people. If you have the calories for sugar use sugar, it's not evil.1 -
Nothing wrong with sugar in the morning. My typical breakfast is grapes, Greek yogurt, and a granola bar. 24 grams of sugar right there (along with protein, carbs, fat and sodium.) The weight is coming off. If you have the calories to spend on sugar and you want the sugar, you can have it.1

I was just curious that's all. I guess there are many myths in mainstream dieting. I wonder if people actually know WHY they are told not to consume something.0 -

Agree ☺, at first time that im in a diet i believe that those mythologies about dieting is true but in the long run i find out that everything is ok in moderation especially those calorie dense foods ☺

Yep. Yay! I like to keep my sugar and cream for my first coffee of the day. If I drink a bunch of coffee, I might start taking the rest black for the day. Compromise/moderation.1 -
Yes it is okay. Today I wasn't hungry for breakfast so I just nibbled on 6 pieces of Twizzlers for the calories. That's about 7 tsp of sugar. Whatever you want to eat whenever you want to eat it is generally okay, unless it's not okay in your particular case (health condition, makes dieting harder for you, causes you to overeat, does not fit your chosen dieting strategy...etc). In that case, you judge the situation the way you see fit, otherwise, any food you want is okay in the morning and any other time.1

I didn't think anyone but me would remember the song- now I can't get it out of my head
Off to YouTube it.

The chorus will be something like:
Sugar in the morning 'til my death
Sugar in the morning, check your breath
Sugar in the morning, brush your teeth
Sugar in the morning, first go pee!

Yes, it's okay, but more important is to understand WHY it's okay. 2 tsp of table sugar in the morning is one limited data point in your overall day.
The reasons why some "dieters" might not have that particular 2 tsp of table sugar:
Carbohydrates prevent ketosis which is the basis of popular fad diets, although there are a few individuals who do better on those diets and some who crash big time on those diets.
Also the simple sugar is a high glycemic index food and that's also not good for many people. Each case has to be looked at individually. The 2 tsp you consume in coffee in the morning by itself is not necessarily a high glycemic "diet", it's just a cup of coffee with sugar. How does it add up with everything else in your diet? The glycemic index measures how quickly your blood sugar rises after consuming a carbohydrate. Studies show that those who eat a diet of high glycemic index carbs have the greatest risk of many chronic diseases. If you eat a high glycemic index food, you produce significantly more insulin.
Throughout the day, choose your carbohydrates wisely. They are necessary for optimum functioning body. Carbs spar protein so it can build and repair tissue. Oatmeal, most whole grains, nontropical fruit, legumes, dried beans and peas, and other minimally processed foods usually have a lower glycemic index.
I used to have that little bit of sugar in my coffee, but now I choose not to, not because it's bad, but because I have evolved and make other choices based on knowledge and balance. Like others said, you can have compromise and balance either way.0 -

Sugar is not the devil when it comes to weight loss. Heck, I've gone over my sugar amount almost every day for 2 years and I've lost 100lbs. Don't worry! The only bad thing got weight loss is consuming too many calories. I eat the same foods that I used to when I was obese, just less.1 -
Sugar in the morning is fine, but only after you brush your teeth. No one wants to smell your morning breath.1
