What are your sources of sugar? Also, has your doctor told you to eat low sugar? Are you diabetic?0

No not diabetic n not told to cut down. Am just trying to loose weight but can see ther is a lot in my semi skimmed milk
And the bananas and fruit.0 -
As long as its not pushing you over your calories I wouldn't worry about.0

As long as you're under your calories you'll still loose weight regardless of sugar intake.
Sugar from stuff like milk and fruit doesn't need to be worried about.
I try to limit my processed/added sugar, but mainly because if I have too much of it then I don't have enough calories to eat other stuff. Eg I could have two choc digestives for 168 cals, but that means I can't have one of my 152 protein cakes. The biscuit tastes better but i'll be hungry soon after, the protein cake will fill me up but tastes like protein shake.0 -
I am also always over on sugars, but I eat a lot of fruit. As long as it's from healthy sources and you're still under your overall calorie target it's fine.0

I stopped tracking sugar and swapped it out for fiber instead. You can change what you track here: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/account/diary_settings0

I'm always way over my sugar goal, and again that's probably due to fruit--banana and frozen fruit in the morning, pear or apple with lunch, and grapes with dinner. It's not like I'm eating candy bars and ice cream all day! As long as you aren't diabetic and you haven't been told by a physician you need to worry about your sugars, I wouldn't stress over it.0

According to this database, he's right (even per 100g): http://ndb.nal.usda.gov/ndb/foods0 -
figs lower than banana per 100g and per fruit0

When I looked it up, at 100g mango comes up at 14G sugar and banana comes up as 12G.
