    For me its VERY easy to go over on sugar - without even eating cakes, cookies and the like! I think MFP sugar levels are set kinda low.

    It's very normal to go over on your sugar goal! As long as you know you're not eating "bad" sugars you're good! Sugar is in fruit too....you can be over on your sugar even by just having 3 fruits depending on which fruits those are!

    I read on a dietician website that no more than 10% of your calories should come from sugar including healthy sources. The easiest way to calculate your max is to divid your total calories by 10 to give you the max sugar calories. Divide your max sugar calories by 4 to get your max sugar grams.

    I have a really hard time staying under because I love fruit. I've gotten WAY better though.
