Mine is currently set at 24 grams a day.

Is this reasonable? I always seem to go over!

    I am over every single day even if I don't have fruit or any kind of sweetened food. So I would love an answer to this too!

    I usually have an apple everyday. It's listed as 17g of sugar. So is 24g too low?

    Believe it or not, I read in an article that they recent cut that recommended intake down to 10g.
    But hey, if most of your sugars comes from fruits and vegetables, I wouldn't worry too much.
    I generally go over as well, but I'm not too surprised when I review what I've eaten for the day.

    Edit:
    If I were you, I'd just exclude the sugar count from any fruits or vegetables. :)
