I am allowed 1200 calories a day but I am also trying to watch how much sugar I take in. I am 26 years old and 5'5 what would be an okay amount.

TIA

    Nobody can really answer that question......nobody knows what's considered 'healthy' for you versus everyone else.

    A good rule of thumb.... Avoid candy, candy bars, chocolate, sugary drinks, and other non-essential sugary things.

    Other than that - you should have your SUGAR levels checked by a doctor. With that information - the doctor can tell you what's good or bad in terms of sugar intake for YOU.

    I get that, just like on the 17 day diet they says to choose a bbq sauce with 15g or less. Just wondering what most people intake with in a day

    I actually don't monitor that at all. I drink diet sodas and I don't eat sweets at all (not even cookies or anything like that).

    My blood sugar levels are on the LOW side (of normal) - so I really don't worry about the sugars in regular foods (per say).
