    I stay under some days. A lot of it does depend on the amount of fruits that I eat that day.

    All of my sugar comes from fruit, but it's natural so I don't consider it bad. I just try not to eat any fruit about 3 hours before I go to bed.

    ive pretty much been ignoring it as well since fruit takes up all the sugar fast. i am definately amazed if people are able to stay under!

    i don' track sugar because it's virtually impossible for me to stay under it and it just frustrates me to see it. i am always over in fat and sugar, but i stay within my calorie limit and i exercise daily, and i have consistently lost 1-1.5 pounds a week, so i just don't even worry about it.

    If I subtract The sugar from natural foods then I can stay within my Sugar allotment most days, but I'm always over according to MFP.

    How Much Can You Feed Your Sweet Tooth?

    Sugars found naturally in fruits and milk are not a problem. It's the added sugars that need to be limited because they provide calories but few vitamins and minerals. You'll find sugar-laden food at the top of the Food Pyramid. Added sugars can be found in soft drinks, candy, jams, jellies, syrups and table sugar we add to coffee and cereal. Added sugar can also appear in sweetened yogurt, soups, spaghetti sauces, applesauce and other items where you wouldn't suspect it unless you check the list of ingredients.

    Here are some guidelines for added sugar based on calories in the daily food choices:

    1,600 calories - Limit sugar to 6 teaspoons per day or 22 grams per day
    2,200 calories - Limit sugar to 12 teaspoons per day or 44 grams per day
    2,800 calories - Limit sugar to 18 teaspoons per day or 66 grams per day

    So if the food label on your sweetened yogurt says a one-cup serving contains 22 grams of sugar, and your meal plan has 1,600 calories a day, you've eaten your day's allotment of sugar.

    i would only bother looking at it if youre diabetic or something. I dont think its a big deal to go over on sugar a bit otherwise, especially if its all from natural sources

    I would also love to see some diaries of folks who stay under the limit.

    I've never been able to stay under (mostly b/c of fruit, yogurt, milk, cereal). So I just stopped tracking.
