Daily sugar intake

briantolland

Hi all.
I have been reading the post about MFP daily allowances (protein)
and have an issue staying anywhere close to the sugar allowance.
If I eat a banana and almost any other food, my sugar totals are
blown for the day. I thought our bodies dealt with natural sugars
more effectively than synthetic sugars. Shouldnt eating fruit be a
really good thing? I find I am eating LESS of it just to keep my
allowances in balance.

I'm struggling with the same thing Almost all of my sugar is healthy sugar from fresh fruit, and I'm getting frustrated that I can't stay within the allowance

Hello. I have the same problem with the sugar especially when I eat any type of fruit. I'm not sure what to do here either because I love fruit and I really don't want to eat less of it. Is it affecting your weight loss at all? I am kind of stuck right now. Not gaining but now losing which makes me wonder because I am jogging 5 days a week for at least 30 minutes and this is my second week doing it and I think I only lost .6 pounds. Maybe it is because I go over my sugar pretty muuch everyday?? Good luck!

Me too. I am still losing though and thinking maybe I won't track my sugar anymore. What I don't know won't hurt me, right? LOL

I have the same issue. I stay in line with carbs, fat, sodium, protein, but it's impossible for me to not go over on sugar. I love strawberries, grapes and oranges, and will not give up healthy fruit to stay within that boundary. I feel like the benefits of the fiber, vitamins and antioxidants are worth the natural sugars.
