What determines max sugar per day on Food Diary page?

Mine says 32 is the most I should be taking in but my fruit and milk alone easily doubles/triples that.

Where does this number come from? How is it calculated?

I just had a fruit smoothie for lunch, 2/3 cup skim milk, 1 banana, 1 and a half Cups of grapes, 6 ice cubes, and it's waaaaaaaaay over my max sugar limit.

Not really sure what to do.

    Ignore it.

    There's no reason to worry about sugar separately from carbs unless you need to for a medical condition.

    Even the American Heart Association's advice on sugar only addresses "added" sugars, meaning table sugar, HFCS, honey and the like.

    MFP has chosen to go its own route with this one.
