    Hi All!

    Today’s stats: 9 grams total sugar.
    (Most sugar from a few strawberries...green onions, kale and almond meal!) No added sugar.

    Thanks for keeping me on the wagon! 🤠

    @Safari_Gal_ It's getting close to the holiday season. I'm glad you're still here.
    @changeisnoww Hey and Howdy, this works for me.

    You’re all doing a great job! 👍🏻
    I’m persevering and my mindfulness about sugar has increased significantly. Not to mention my tastebuds’ sensitively to natural sugars 🍏

    Hi All,

    20 total sugars today. No added sugar.

    My sugars:
    -bell peppers
    -tomatoes
    -pomegranate 👌🏻
    -My greens 🥬 juice

    Chilling a pumpkin purée chia pudding for tomorrow .... we shall see how it turns out! Used cinnamon, pumpkin spice and ground vanilla to sweeten...but the natural pumpkin purée was already pretty sweet! I love the smell of pumpkin..☺️

    ..... (Runs off to see how much sugar is in whole pumpkin....)

    I'll be posting my successful days from now on. Meaning I have my sugar intake under control. I won't post my unsuccessful days since I have failed so many times in controlling my sugar intake, it can get me down.

    Don’t compare yourself to someone else. Compare yourself to you. Did you eat less added sugar than you did yesterday? Last week? Win! Did you eat less added sugar than you would have if not aware of it? Win!

    Count your small steps towards a big goal!

    83 sugar today. I didn’t change MFP goal. My goal for today was 85. It came mostly from 2 pieces of chocolate cake with ice cream. A little from milk in my coffee and bread.

    That sounds like a high goal, and is certainly more than usual.

    Im glad to see this challenge is still going on! zcutting out added sugar is the biggest change I want to make! I think i ate only sugar today, but Im hoping to be different tomorrow.

    I read "no added sugar" and with that, I'd like to jump in please. I'm realizing, hello...that some foods like my peanut butter probably have alot of sugar and I ate two bananas yesterday. I'm going to eventually cut back and phase out certain foods (hope and goal).
    Yesterday sugar: 61 grams
    Today: 14 grams

    Does anyone know why MFP changes sugar goals, daily?

    24 grams total sugar today. No added sugars.

    A veritable smorgasbord! Had a good amount of plants today.
    Orange pepper
    Spinach
    Kale
    Tomato
    Wheatgrass

    Had leftover turkey. 4 grams sugar from whole plain turkey? (I checked a few entries on MFP database)

    Would have thought meat was 0 sugar!

    It appears that MFP allows 15% of total calories for sugar, including extra exercise calories.
