I always go over my daily allowance of sugar even though I am really careful! it's the sugars that are under the title of total carbs, I assume it's not good to go over your sugars allowance every day but I don't know how to help cos every thing I eat has sugar in!!!

    Your diary is private so we can't see where you're getting all of your sugars from

    Mine is always over too. I think it tracks your natural sugar and refined sugar into that category. Ive done some reading and think the 36g of sugar it allows you is meant for added or refined sugar. I ate one apple and lots of veggies yesterday and I watched all my food labels carefully. Still I was over by 8. I don't think its possible to keep it under 36 if you consider your natural sugars. I put in 1 cup of carrots and that alone has 6 grams of sugar. Don't be so concerned about the sugar in your fruit and veggies. It is fructose and is used by your body much faster and efficiently than refined glucose sugar.
