I've noticed on most days I go over my sugar allowance. However, most (if not all) of my sugar comes from fruit and pure protein bars. Is that a bad thing? Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    My personal choice is to keep sugars below about 15 gm/day, even though MFP allows 24. I don't pay attention to the source of the sugar (fruit, vegetables.) Nor do I add sugar to any of my food. I'm losing weight so I guess it's working.

    I believe that sugars from fresh fruit are nothing to worry to much about. As long as your not exceeding your sugar limit from artificial sweeteners, high fructose corn syrup and things like that it's not too much of an issue :)
