Hi all,

What if I'm really over sugar..but i'm under my calories.. will that still really effect my weight loss? Today was a very bad day sugar wise.. but even other days.. I still go over.. Just wonder if its going to hurt me..

    I was wondering the same thing... I'm over my sugar intake today as well and all it took was 2 cups of cabbage, an apple and a banana. :grumble:

    If you are eating fruit - the chances are high that you will go over on sugar. I wouldn't be concerned about that. If you are eating junk with sugar...you know what to do!

    Ok I added a dessert to my diary but haven't had it yet.. my step daughter made it.. I just deleted it all off my diary.. because I just put each ingredient on there.. I decided I rather have strawberries... that dessert isn't worth it

    I don't track sugar, I was told by a diabetic nutritionist not to worry about just sugar it is included in the carb count. As long as you are not eating a lot of refined sugar foods track cholesterol instead.

    I know it's already been said, but going over with sugar in fruit is better than going over in refined sugar. Refined sugar essentially has no nutritional value, so you're adding calories that are going to hinder rather than help you. I don't think you need to worry about cutting it out of your diet, but it's good to keep an eye on it! :)

    If you use the recipe button you can calculate it out with all the ingredients.
