    I've heard for women it's 20g but MFP has my goal at 26g. I've also heard that it's ok to have more but you should keep it under 40g. I have a hard time consuming less than 40g usually. So much sugar in everything!

    I try to get rid of processed sugars in my diet. My coffee creamer and occasional treat are all that's left! The rest of my sugar comes from fruit and I don't worry a lot about that.
