I have the same problem. I go over just by having some grapes. I do go over, but just try to look at it and make sure most of it is coming from fruit.

Planning is the only way I stay away from sugars. I have to make it the focus of my meals when I look up recipes for the next day and such but it pays off immensely and I learn what ingredients I can always go to.

What is the goal supposed to be? I primarily look at the fat, carb and protein numbers but just found where it gives your sugar totals as well. But, I don't know if my number is in goal or not. Thanks!

my morning coffees were so sweet and creamy..and using up alot of my calories..i switched to honey and almond milk.
i am really liking the honey i put it on plain yogert in smoothies..fruit salad..etc!
honey is still a fair amount of cals..so there is also stevia extract..or agave nectar..many sugar replacements out there..check out some options at your local health food store

I go over my sugars everyday, but I eat a lot of fruit. I wouldn't worry about it when its from fruit. You could substitue sugar with sugar substitutes if you use sugar in coffee or tea.

I do plan out my meals but I have a banana and a coffee with cream-sugar and I am at my limit which is 24 g of sugar,I find even celery has some sugar in it,I will try the honey in my coffee instead of sugar ,see if that makes a difference.thanks for all the suggestions ,

I dont eat sugar substitutes as they are man made chemicals,I try to stay away from processed foods,I dont go down the middle rows at the grocery stores very often,

I'm having the same problem! Raisins and grapes are making this very hard for me.

You don't count fruit or other natural sugar. Just count processed/added sugar. Still, it isn't easy but then again, not as hard as staying under on sodium. Now there's a challenge!

It all comes down to eating unprocessed home made healthy fruits and veggies and whole grains, etc.

I find it hard too. I avoid dried fruits and don't snack mindlessly on fruit. I still eat fruit, but don't think of it as something I can eat as much as I want of, like celery, and I don't drink fruit juice. Fructose is still sugar and actually is more likely to be converted to fat than glucose. I don't count lactose though as it's processed differently. But added sugar is the main one, I try not to eat any bought sweet treats, if I want something sweet I'll make my own so I can control the sugar content and use some stevia. I won't use any artificial sweeteners though.
