    24 grams total sugar today. No added sugars.

    A veritable smorgasbord! Had a good amount of plants today.
    Orange pepper
    Spinach
    Kale
    Tomato
    Wheatgrass

    Had leftover turkey. 4 grams sugar from whole plain turkey? (I checked a few entries on MFP database)

    Would have thought meat was 0 sugar!

    Looks like a good day!

    30 grams of sugar today and I'm pretty sure Honey Bunches of Oats was the heavy hitter. Then following was carrots, potato, red onion and bread.

    I'd like to set a sugar target. After reading comments, I'm Thinking 24 to 30 grams. And none of it being added sugar. Does this sound like a good goal.

    I think it's a logical goal since even fruits and vegetables have sugar in them. Yes, I think it's a good one!

    By the way, I'm so glad that part of the title of this thread reads "limiting added sugar" because I do not plan to completely avoid it and there are so many things I'm still learning. I had 22 grams of sugar, bread and fruit mostly.

    I ate a ridiculous amount of sugar yesterday. Pancake syrup, fig Newtons... challenge failed. Today is a new start.

    @threewins - hi! I noticed you have a lot of “unknown” sugars. Usually most nutritional labels have added sugars column. Perhaps that would be helpful? Of course if it’s a whole food like a fruit or vegetable — that’s not added sugar. Hope that helps the unknowns a bit for ya 😉

    Unfortunately I am only wanting to count refined sugar, which is not listed where I live. Is that listed where you live?

    Usually it’s listed here in the states as “added sugar.” But I guess it’s all added sugar - not just refined. So something like honey in the ingredients would be listed as “added.” 😉
