Sugar goal?

What’s a reasonable sugar goal in maintenance.

Currently MFP says mine is 6,000+. Not sure if I accidentally changed it or what... but that seems enormous to me.

No big deal; I’m in maintenance, but it bugs me seeing that big number in my goals!

    It doesn't matter at all unless you have a medical reason to watch your sugars.

    ETA: Though I will say 6,000 grams of sugar is extremely high and would equal about 24,000 calories per day in nothing but sugar, so you may want to lower that goal just a smidge.
