Im I eating too much sugar ?

leslieirving1970

Ive been on a 1300 calorie diet and I try my best to keep within all my food targets. I have noticed that under the food group settings, I always seem to be way over in my sugar target, for each day. The foods that seem to take me higher are fruit, yogurts and semi skimmed milk. Should I worry about this or could this be effecting my weight loss? Seems strange because I dont eat what I would consider as being unhealthy foods. Or maybe I should ignore it and reset my food diary settings ?

If you're losing, then I'd say don't stress.

I personally don't pay too much attention to sugar from fruits or milk, but I do try to be mindful and balance it out with veggies in another meal. I pat attention to my sugar intake when it's processed sugar from other sources.

I asked this a little while back and was told to ignore it. So I changed my diary settings to show me Fiber and hide Sugar.
