    Do you have a medical reason to worry about sugar?
    If not, eat normal and at a deficit and don't worry about sugar and you will lose weight.

    enough to keep cravings at bay, but not so much that you go over your calorie goal

    some people will disagree but for most a calorie is a calorie, if you account for it in your daily totals then there is no problem with indulging a little :)

    Nah don't worry about that. The only ones you should care about really is carbs, fat, and protein. But don't worry if you don't hit them every day. It's more like a guideline not an absolute must.

    What I try to do most days is not go over what MFP gives me in processed sugars. So I am usually in the red but so long as that red number isn't higher than the sugar I have eaten from natural sources like fruits and veggies I don't worry about it. I should also say that I am insulin resistant and my glucose levels are at the best they have been in years.
