I never realised how much sugar and salt is in everything. I always go over sugar. :(

    As long as you hit the macros you need and you are not exceeding your calorie budget, i wouldn't worry about it.

    Salt is no biggie if you are working up a good sweat.

    Freakin coffee creamer. I know that's not what you meant but really. 1tbs is a lot of calories.

    I try to go over on protein, but I really only worry about carbs. I combat those with sweet potatoes. :p

    Unsaturated fats send me over and into next week- especially because I like Peanut butter. : x

    Most often it is on sugar. Since I'm not diabetic and most of the sugar comes from natural sources I generally don't worry about it.

    Fat. Always, always fat. And almost certainly sugar... but I took sugar off of my macros. If I eat the recommended amount of fruit each day, I'm over my sugar. I don't have any medical conditions that I should watch sugar for so I don't anymore.

    I don't think there's been a single day this year where I haven't gone over MFP's sugar recommendation...whoops. It's very rarely added sugar, though, and I don't worry too much about it.

    I always go over on sugar. It's always ice cream :blushing: Honestly, as long as I'm hitting my macros and staying in my calories, I don't worry. Okay, I don't worry anyway but I at least won't bat an eyelash at it :tongue:

    Nuts. Any kind.

    Someone on the forum wrote about measuring and packaging just the amount she needed to eat for the day. Since doing that, I haven't had any problems. I measure an ounce, put it in a container and that's my ration for the day.

    Nothing. I stick to my macros.

    Nearly 100% of my "sugar" is from fruit and vegetables so I'm not going to worry about that. I tend to have too much fiber from what I've been told to have by my coach but I don't worry so much about that either. (I use raw vegie weight in my calculations and figure some fiber will be lost in cooking...)
