SUGAR!??

I'm confused about the sugar intake requirement for losing weight. On my diary I am always over on the sugar about 15-20g.
When I go browse through the foods I ate that day it is usually fruit that put me over. I thought we are supposed to eat 2-3 fruit serving a day. So how do I keep my sugar down and yet still eat enough fruit for the day? Or should I not worry about this particular sugar?
Does anyone know?

Hi, Not sure but how about sticking to fruits that might be better (less sugary) choices? I think maybe berries are better.0

The MFP sugar intake level is an arbitrary number0

Are you hitting your caloric goals?
Are you getting sufficient protein and EFA's?
Are you eating mostly whole, minimally-processed foods?
If so, there's no need to worry about going over MFP's recommended sugar intake.0 -
I find eating berries, peaches, watermelon, and cantaloupes work well for keeping sugar down as they contain a lot less sugar than things like grapes, oranges, and bananas.0
