Tracking Sugar?...Your Thoughts and Personal Experience

I am determined to lose the weight for good this time. After reading many of the message board postings, I've adjusted the marconutrients so I can follow the 40/30/30 guidelines for carbs, fat and protein. My question is SUGAR. I would like to track sugar, but I think the recommended grams (24 grams based on a 1,200 daily calorie count) seems low if you include the grams of natural sugars from fruit. When I do select a food that contains sugar, I try and make sure it's < 7 grams. Any input or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
