i know this is my 100th post about sugar :)

but if you watch your sugar intake ... how many grams do you try to stay around/under ????

Today was my first day monitoring my sugar intake and I had 63 grams which I thought was pretty good considering I sometimes eat a pint of ice cream for dinner :/

:D THANKS!

just wondering what everyone else aimed for when cutting sugar!

    I don't look at sugar because I eat a ton of fruit! I'm always way over, but barely ever eat refined sugar. If it's natural sugar, I wouldn't worry too much about going over. Refined sugar, stay under 40g. if you can :D
  • Refined Sugar I stay under 40-45g a day. Natural Sugar I ignore.
