Sugar

I am really trying with my food goals and although I do really well at keeping to most of the nutrients required, my sugar is always over. Just the Kashi cereal and Milk i have for breakfast is over half my goal intake. Ideas?

I'm having the same issue with my breakfast shake. I adjusted the fruit I was using...adding a little of this...reducing to half a banana instead of a full one...it's helped some...it's a work in progress for me though.

i am having this issue as well...but there is a difference between processed sugar and natural sugar...fruits, veggies, dairy, whole grains are how you are supposed to get your sugar...my yogurt and dairy takes up a large amount of my sugar...but there is no way to distinguish that sugar from the other kind so...I don't know how to fix the problem if it is indeed one.

I have the same problem. I try not to worry too much about fruit sugar. Most of the sugar I get is from fruit. I try to alternate days when eat fruit just to make myself feel better.

How bout you don't eat the Kashi cereal?? Have a vegetable medly instead or eggs without toast. Just go the supermarket and check the nutrional value on the breakfast foods then pick one with less sugar. Sorry but duh! haha

When logging in sugars, I do not worry about any sugars that come from fruits, vegetables, meats, grains or dairy. Basically any sugars that occur naturally are fine.

However, I do try to keep my added sugars low from things like: bread, cereal, yogurt (high fructose corn syrup, etc.), candy, and any other obvious sugars like in ice cream, chocolate, etc.
