I got up to 91 grams of sugar from fruits and veggies alone. Is this still too much since "sugar is sugar. doesn't matter what source".

    I don't even track my sugar anymore because i eat so much fruit,
    My carbs are usually in the 250s-350s.
    Fructose aka fruit sugar is ALOT better for you, as has good nutritional values and isn't just "empty calories."
    Unless you're diabetic, you don't need to worry about it.

    If you do not have a medical reason to watch your carbs and sugars, then it's really not too bad and better than having all that sugar in candy bars. :laugh: if you want to try for more balance, then you'll need to replace some of that fruit with other options. It may be as simple as trading a banana for some berries for example.

    Because I must count carbs, I cannot have anywhere close to that amount of sugar/carbs in a day. I have to stay under 130 gm max, usually closer to 100.
