My nutritional values may be wrong. I've been logging food for 2 days and keep going over on the box marked sugar. I think I have a 28 in that box. How many pieces of fruit are recommended per day?

    Unless you have a health issue I wouldn't be overly concerned about going over sugars...

    The sugar value on MFP is based on the recommendation for added sugar, but the diary doesn't discern between natural sugar and added sugar. If you eat the fruit you should, you're going to be over. Don't worry about it. Unless you have a medical issue with sugar, it's not worth tracking.

    Thank you. My siblings have stage 2 diabetes so I was getting worried when the sugars kept going over the recommended amount.
