Just curious....if so, I'd really like to see your food diary...it bothers me that no matter what I eat, I still go over in the sugar dept......

Thanks!

    I always go over Sugar!!!! Look at where your sugar is coming from! As long as it is from good choice you should be okay! If it is coming from a lot of processed food then you need to reduce. but if I choose fruit over a chocolate bar I am okay with that!

    I have days when I do and days when I dont.. Sugar and Sodium are my set backs most days.. But learning to not let them defeat me.

    I'm never over on my sugar when I'm trying to lean out. I'm not quite there yet (just had a baby) so I'm usually over with my fruit. Once I get to the weight I want, then I'll start cutting.

    Most of the time I'm under - but sometimes I go over. I'm very sugar/carb-conscious bc of my insulin resistance. I try my best - but Im not perfect and I do mess up and sugar/carb load every now and then!

    My sugar goal is 28. If I eat fruit, I go over my sugar goal....it's RIDONKULOUS...I'm trying to try really hard NOT to go over this goal. This morning I had 1 slice of Orowheat Whole Grain bread -that was 3 for sugar. I had a teaspoon of mustard...there went 1 more sugar. I use 1 % milk...that has sugar...everything has sugar....RIDONKULOUS!

    I worried a lot about sugar at first, but find it almost impossible not to go over if I eat ANY fruit or yogurt. The USDA recommendation is 32 grams of ADDED sugar a day, for a 2000 calorie diet. I don't worry about sugar that naturally occurs in foods...but that's just my humble opinion. I found that the following article explains it well. :)
