Questions about the sugar limit...

mandie26

Hey everyone-

So, I'm not going to open the floodgates on the "sugar from fruit dosen't count!" argument, because I've seen that done before, and I'm not a nutritionist, so I won't give my 2cents!

However- I was wondering if anyone has opinions on the actual sugar intake limit that MFP automatically sets for you? Mine is currently is 26grams, and I easily go over it almost everyday, without eating sweets or junk food. Mostly just from fruit, greek yogurt or cereal (healthy cereal like kashi or generic muesli, not sugary stuff!)...

Does anyone see a problem with manually upping my sugar limit a little bit? I just hate seeing that bloody red number!

Perhaps to 35 or 40g? Has anyone else upped their sugar limit a little bit?

Be honest

Thanks!

I'd also like to know a reasonable sugar amount

I know that I don't eat junk food and so I don't track my sugar because a single mango can put me over my sugar for the day! My weight loss has been going smoothly so I'm guessing I'm doing fine. If I were one to eat junk food I would track my sugar and just discount what sugars came from fruit though.

I tend to go over my sugar limit too and mostly from fruits.. its pretty crazy =/ I havent been trying to stay under or on my goal for sugar when I do eat more fruits and I seem to be doing alright. I just try to not let that number get TOO high out of the range.
