Two pieces of fruit and I'm over my daily intake of sugar!

SEARCH is your friend here. been covered multiple times in the last week .....with some good responses from some knowledgeable peeps ..

Don't worry about natural sugars, it's the added refined sugars you need to keep to a minimum.

No. Unless your diabetic or have some other medical condition to do so just ignore your sugar.

Pay attention to overall carb and calorie intake.

I have the same problem. So much so that I doubled my allotment, and still usually go over. Unless you have health issues that restrict you from sugar, don't worry about it in the slightest - as long as most of the sugar you get is healthy or natural sugar, then it doesn't matter in the slightest.

Ignore it. If you eat the amount of fruits you NEED to eat every day, you're going to go over the "sugars" that MFP tracks no matter what. They don't calculate the difference between natural sugars and refined sugars. I go over the sugar limit every day, because I integrate the right amount of fruit every day, my blood sugar is great and I'm losing weight. If you're wondering how much fruit you should be eating, this is what the government recommends: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/food-groups/fruits.html

Agreed ignore it. And even it you were diabetic tons of doctors are reversing diabetes with a solely plant based diet (fruit, veggies, legumes and whole grains)
unlike the American Diabetic Association's diet has never cured diabetes.

What about the sugar in greek yougurt? I eat the dannon oikos ff for breakfast and it has 20g of sugar. Wondering if i try switch to eggs if i will see a big difference in weight loss?

That is added refined sugar, this is the kind that is best to limit but I wouldn't worry about it unless you are eating a bunch of other things with added sugar. For the most part it is still calories in and calories out(for weight loss, not overall health) so unless added sugars cause you more cravings(which it seems to do for me) then keep eating your yogurt.

Edit
It is probably only adde refined sugar if it is a flavored yogurt, milk has naturally occuring sugar.

My understand of sugar and where it can cause problems is when it triggers an insulin response. Doing that too often is what tends to lead to diabetes. But, if the amount of sugar you eat is not enough to cause an insulin spike, then don't worry. Foods that are low-glycemic, like most berries, are just fine. Some natural foods do have enough sugar in them to trigger and insulin response, so you may have to do your research. I track my sugar here, but only to add up the sugar I get from sources that are not low-glycemic. Even then, it's still very hard to stay under.

When it comes to yougurt, send the company an email and ask where those 20 grams of sugar are coming from. I did this with Chobani and they sent me a very detailed response. If 15 are from fruit and 5 are from lactose, that is all low-glycemic and shouldn't trigger much of an insulin response (therefore, no sugar crash). What I do with my yougurt is mix in 1/4 or 1/2 cup rolled oats. I feel like this keeps me fuller until lunch.

I'm really disappointed that MFP can't tell the difference between good sugars and good carbs (fruits & veggies) which we should be able to eat an endless supply of - except for the higher fat ones of course.

Absolutely, fat bad.

Er, hold on, fat bad why?

Ignore the sugar... seriously the daily allowance on sugars is so low even a diabetic couldn't stick to it.
