I also exchanged my sugar with fiber.0

I honestly dont pay too much attention to my sugar. I try not to go like WAY over the sugar but most fresh fruits have natural sugar in them and they will be great for you due to the small calories but the sugar can throw you over. Watermelon is a good example. They are not high is calories but they have a higher sugar content. So far I am still losing weight with just following the calorie counter. Good Luck!!0

I choose to not track sugar; you can personalize what your diary shows. I prefer to track fiber as I find that more useful.0

Your sugar can be from apples or from cheesecake. It don't matter one bit.
So, basically you think fruit sugars are just as bad?

Or just as good, depending on your perspective...
My perspective is, No, fruit sugars are not "just as bad". Yes, it's still sugar BUT, that fruit has more nutrients in it, (that we need) then that piece of cheesecake.
Now, I'm not saying don't eat the cheesecake, but keep it as a treat. Work it into your calories for the day. Just don"t have it every day.0 -
I eat a variety of foods and just pay attention to my calories. I'm pretty healthy so I don't worry about it at all. Good luck to ya! :flowerforyou:0

Thank you all.
I'm going to just concentrate on the calories for now and see how I go.

Unless you're diabetic, don't worry about sugar, especially if it's coming more from fruits than other items.
Going over on your macros is fine as long as you're still in a calorie deficit. In fact, most people tend to think of their fat/protein goals as minimums to hit.
Totally agree . I have heard many times fresh fruit will take you way over the limit of sugar on here. But as long as its fruits going over is fine.0 -

I can never stay under on fats - but I don't worry about it. The great majority of my daily fats are from olive oil, avocado, nuts, and the cheese in my morning egg white omelette. I think that quality of the food consumed is more important to look at. Are you over on sugars by an excessive amount each day? Where is your sugar coming from?
At the end of the day, if it isn't slowing or stopping your weight loss, I wouldn't be too worried at this point.0 -
