Okay I have been going good for almost three months now. I measure, count, eat healthy and try to avoid fatty foods. BUT I have always had an uber sweet tooth and I ALWAYS seem to go over on my sugar count.

I am beginning to hate those red freaking numbers!!!

Do I really need to worry about this or should I just try to let it go as long as everything else is in line and My sugar isn't WAY off the charts?

Help! I can't live without chocolate!!!

    It really depends on whether the sugars are from dairy, fruit, or pure junk. I try to keep my sugars almost to the levels MFP recommends but I know that there will be days I go over. I try to keep my junk food portions small so that I don't stress my body out with having to process too much refined sugar.

    Oh god not another sugar thread!

    Unless you have a medical condition, don't bother tracking it! Especially if you eat a lot of fruit. I have never once glanced at my sugar count, as i know it'll be more than double what MFP says i should be on, and it's never done me any harm.

    If you track your fiber, too, you can basically subtract the grams of fiber from your total carb grams, since fiber generally goes through your system. That's not the most ideal way to maintain a nutritious diet, but it may help.

    Some people choose to track it, other people don't. Go to amazon and do a search in the book section for "sugar" and do your own research and decide what is best for you.
