Just after a bit of advice on my sugar intake weekly totals on MFP.

My weekly sugar levels are about -200 (in the red) - this happens most weeks.

This is due to the amount of fruit I eat. Is this harmful to me losing weight? Or is it ok because it is natural fruit-sugar?

thanks

    I am currently trying to lower my sugar intake to 60 grams or less. Only 20 grams come from unnatural things like coffee creamer and such. I am not sure how many grams of natural sugar you should be consuming. I would think because usually fruit has alot of crabs in it, it maybe benefical to down on the amount and eat vegtables instead. I am not saying fruit is bad but everything in moderation :) Hope this maybe helps you, remember this is only my opinion.

    That's great, thanks for your reply! I have added you as a friend - although not sure how that works! I have been using the calorie counter on here for a while but only just noticed the "community" side of it! :-)

    I'm not diabetic, have no issues with sugar intake, etc. I don't even track mine. Been fine so far.
