I hardley eat anything and I am always going over my sugar. Wow. What is the daily amount of sugar allowed on a 1,200 calorie diet?

I just had a banana and a 12 oz glass of gatorade juice and it told me I was over my daily sugar amount.

    I read the limit is 30g for women AHA Recommendations
    If you're an average American that lives a healthy lifestyle, you don't have too many calories to spend on added sugar. The AHA advises that women consume no more than 100 calories from added sugar per day. Men can have slightly more: 150 calories. This translates into an upper daily limit of 25 and 37.5 grams (6 and 9 tsp.) of added sugar for men and women, respectively. One 12-oz. can of regular soda pop contains 8 tsp. of added sugar.
