sugar

What kinds of foods do you eat that are low in sugar....naturally, not talking about "versions" of sugar free food. I found it stressful enough to pay attention to calories, fat and carbs, but yesterday I added sugar to my daily totals and was horrified to find that I went over by like 88 grams! Aside from the jelly I had on my toast, I didn't really eat much yesterday that I would have thought would have had a ton of sugar....ok, I DID indulge in most of a can of pepsi, so I know that added to it, but I don't drink pop much at all anymore so I wanted to splurge.

My sugar seems good today, as long as I can find something without too much for my evening snack I shouldn't go over at all, but I am thinking I should start paying attention to it more.

I don't pay attention to it if most of my sugars are coming from whole grain breads/pastas and fruits. I think people are suppose to eat these things, it shouldn't hurt you unless you are diabetic? Just my opinion.

:grumble: I think the sugar count on this site is wrong. My daily intake is 24g. Thats insane and unrealistic. I dont eat junk and I go over everyday. I try to stay close to the amount but it is not practicle.
