How do I meet my daily sugar goal?!

packersdan

I am only allowed to have 35g of sugar a day and I cannot for the life of me keep below that amount. It just doesnt seem that realistic. I tend to eat the same thing everyday. My general meal is this:

Breakfast: Oatmeal and a cup of coffee
Lunch: Lean Cuisine or Smart Ones
Dinner: Salad and either a sandwich or a piece of protein (chicken breast, steak, pork chop)
Snacks: Choice between rice cakes, granola bars, or fruit cup.

I dont mind being in this kind of routine for food, it makes it pretty easy for me, especially while I am at work.

Some other notes about my eating:

-I drink a lot of water throughout the day - at least 10 cups.
-For salad dressing I use a light balsamic vinaigrette.
-I enjoy hot, spicy things: I love Sriracha!
-My oatmeal is 'quaker weight control' or 'low sugar'
-Granola bars are Nature Valley brand 'fruit and nut' or 'cranberry and pomegranate'

Any thoughts on how I can correct this??

Thanks!

i generally don't pay much attention to sugar, esp. if i go over because of eating fruit. if you feel you're being pretty healthy, it should be fine.
