Wish I could help! I burn a lot of calories every day and I have been losing fat and gaining muscle, but I love my sweet tea and sodas. I don't have as much of them, but I just haven't been able to give them up...

I am always going over my sugar. I wouldn't worry too much about it unless it REALLY far over. I've heard that MFP sets sugars pretty low and going over is a common concern for many people. From what I've seen a good amount of people actually turn that setting off. As long as you're getting it from good sources, I think you should be fine. You're losing weight, so you must be doing something right!

Unless you have a medical reason to monitor your sugar intake, don't worry about it.

Just in case you weren't aware of this feature, when you go to the message boards section, there is a button called search and you can type in a keyword/phrase (ex: sugar) and you can see the threads that have already been created on the topic. Good luck! :flowerforyou:

I wish I was an expert in that area, I'm sure you'd be able to lose weight faster or something, but I go over all the time and I still see positive results...
