Personally, I think it all depends on the types of sugar you are consuming. If it's natural sugars, such as those found in fruits and vegetables (fructose and glucose) then I think it's okay to be over and it can't quite be helped.

I would count the water used in your fruit tea intake, but you'll have to count the tea if it has calories (of course). It's mostly comprised of water. I've been enjoying Crystal Light On The Go in various flavors and since it's all water with only a powdered addition I count it toward my water intake. It has made getting…

Thomas' Bagels now come in thins! They are 110 calories. I use a little I can't believe it's not butter spray butter, which is 0 calories, and off I go!
