Total Added Sugar for the Day

It would be awesome to have a break down of sugars or at least total added sugar under day view in the nutrients tab. I see where the individual foods will have added sugar content, but when you look at nutrients for the day it only shows overall sugar and not added sugars.

    Hi! Thanks for the feedback! Totally understand where you're coming from with wanting to track the added sugar. We'll look into it with the team.

    Please do add a field for "Added Sugars" (which is now legally REQUIRED on US nutrition labels) so that the info can be recorded when creating a new food in MFP.
    The American Heart Association recommends limiting ADDED sugar to 9 teaspoons (36 grams) per day for most men and 6 teaspoons (25 grams) per day for most women (and children over 2).
    The average adult gets about 17 teaspoons of added sugar each day -- almost DOUBLE the limit for men and TRIPLE the limit for women.

    I completely agree. @Hudson can you provide a status on the review including added sugars in daily breakdown?
