    Fruit & Sugar - Help

    edited November 2024 in Introduce Yourself
    So I'm already well over my sugar allowance for the day.
    I had an orange, banana & clementine for breakfast, went to the gym and now for lunch I'm having a banana, Orange and rice cake and I'm over my allowance.

    Is there good & bad sugar? Is fruit sugar ok?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks

      sugar = sugar

      unless you have a medical condition that makes you sensitive to sugar there is no reason to limit it.

      Also, the MFP sugar recommendation is ridiculously low. I really do not pay attention to it.

      If you eat in a deficit you will lose weight, regardless of sugar intake.

      OK great, thanks very much.
      I just keep hearing everywhere sugar is bad but conversely to eat lots of fruit?
      Gets a bit confusing.

      And yep I've been pretty strict.

      Have lost 3st (42lb) since August and been going to the gym and eating salads and stir frys....and lots of fruit
      Have a couple of treats a week but go to the gym 4-5 times s week so keeping on top of it.

      Also have MFP set to 1300 calories a day

      Thanks for the info.
