I keep going over my sugar intake

BUT the only sugars I regularly consume are naturally occurring ones in fruits and vegetables. It feels like if I have an apple and a banana, I'm already at my limit for the day. Is this something I should be concerned with?

    I have the same trouble, as long as it natural sources of sugar its fine, now if it was from pop or junk food then obviously not.

    Not if they are fruits and veggies. If it was candy and sweets then yes.

    I have the same problem. As the vast majority of mine are from fruit and yoghurt I don't worry too much!

    Thanks everyone, that's what I was thinking but seeing myself go over every single day was getting a little worrisome.

    I'm only given the response that I have seen my smart people friends give....and I hope I don't fail them by saying it wrong....as long as you are eating at a deficit, it does not matter if you are over on your sugars. You will still lose weight.

    I decide to take my sugar off the count, I always went over too and it was frustrating. I added sodium instead...its easier to maintain.
