I eat wayyyy too much sugar like 25 grams over what I should have.... does anyone have any tips for cutting back on sugar? i try not to eat unhealthy foods but my sugar still adds up... you can check out my food diary to see if im doing anything wrong.

    I can't see your diary but you need to subtract the natural sugars from the total! I subtract half the natural sugars. Your body needs sugar to function.

    All the sugars in your diet are natural sugars. I wouldn't worry! If that is what your diary looks like most of the time change the sugar to something else because you are just gonna drive yourself insane trying to keep it out of the red:)

    :huh: :huh:

    Not all the sugar is natural. The OJ prob has added sugar and the Kashi stuff does as well as the Polaner. The goal % on here are really low except for carbs. Adjust these levels to your liking and don't fret it so much. Gradually find better replacements and lower your goal %'s.
