Is it just me or is the sugar allowance a little silly?

At first I was worried but after speaking to someone helpful on myfitnesspal, I ignore it. If I eat 2 8-9 inch carrots and have 200ml of semi skimmed milk I'm apparently at my limit.0

Silly. I upped my allowance.0

i dont even monitor the sugar. i dont really care, im not diabetic, and im not dumping sugar on my food... i have bigger worries, like calories, protein, carbs, and fat!0

Yeah, I thought my sugar allowance was ridiculous too. So I went to my settings and took it off the column completely lol. You can adjust that.0
-
I'm glad I"m not the only one. Just 2 pieces of fruit put me over, ridiculous. I think I am going to remove mine too.0

Same here, I don't think I've ever been over the sugar allowance, but the only fruit I eat regularly are kiwi fruits for the vitamin C one fruit equals something like 106% DV at only approx. 50 calories.0 -

its all about how its broken down in the body. The sugars from fruit are broken down and used for energy alot faster and easier. If you eat things with like splenda or just bad sugar in general your body is busy trying harder and takes alot longer so you can gain fat and weight because if you body is busy breaking down that stuff then other stuff will get buy and stored in your body to burn later.
The more simple you make foods that go in your body. the faster your body breaks it down. the faster you get the energy you need. the faster the weight loss.0 -
mate, if you're in a caloric deficit,, you will lose weight - stop trying to make things harder for yourself, lol.
and whilst you're at it, do some 2013 reading, we've moved on.0 -
I've worked out that if I were to eat 2 apples in a day then I would be over my allowance It seems silly to me!
fruit sugar is good ..all other sugar is bad..so you will be fine...0 -
Any sugar is fine.0

... At the end of my day, I look at the numbers and subtract the amount of sugar that comes from fruit to get an idea where I was at for added sugar...
This is what I do. I'm happy to track my sugar and those red numbers don't scare me at all. Once I subtract the fruit, I'm usually pretty close to goal or even under. :flowerforyou:
right, we all know the fruit sugar is superior to all other sugar...0 -
