i am trying to be healthy by eating fruit but if I have a couple of clementines and an apple for snacks it puts me way over my sugar allowance for the day? How can this be?

    I never worry if I'm over in my sugar if it's due to natural e.g fruit sugars. It's the process stuff you need to be concerned about. Don't worry about it.

    I don't track sugar for just this reason. I do try to avoid refined sugar & products that contain it, but natural sugar from fruit is a different thing all together.
    Fruit is not just sugar, it's full of vitamins, minerals & fibre too, so carry one eating it & dont worry about the natural sugars it contains.

    your body breaks down natural sugars way better than refined or substitutes. don't worry about fructose. it's good for you. worry about starches and refined added sugars and syrups.
