How much sugar do you allow yourself per day? I'm trying to figure out how many grams I want to include and don't know what is typical (I eat fruit).

    The only additional sugar i consume (besides whatever is in my food naturally) is 4 teaspoons of sugar for my 4 cups of daily coffee. I track it in my food log. I don't want to give up coffee, and I don't want to drink it black.

    Simply put, as little as possible ... I guess 10g a day for me would be the upper limit.

    I don't do much fruit, I treat it like a dessert.

    The less sugar I consume, the less I crave but the more I appreciate ...
