Wendy0513 38 Posted October 5, 2012 Hi all - I recently started using myfitnesspal and notice that it says I only get 25 grams of sugar per day. Does that make sense? Seems super low. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maddysgram 6,159 Posted October 5, 2012 That comes out to 6 tsp of sugar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wendy0513 38 Posted October 5, 2012 I'm not adding any sugar to anything. It's in my milk, which we are supposed to drink for Protein. I use it in my Protein drinks & coffee. Not sure what the other alternatives are out there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maddysgram 6,159 Posted October 5, 2012 American Heart Assoc. says no more than 25gr. But I don't know about after LB, I would think they would go by AHA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maddysgram 6,159 Posted October 5, 2012 Ok, got my notebook out. Those sugars are included in carbohtdrates. 8oz milk equal 15 gr of carbs. My diet allows 30 gr of carbs per meal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure what the other alternatives are out there. My surgeon advises that naturally occurring carbs, such as those found in dairy products and fresh fruits are acceptable carbs. What we need to avoid are foods which have sugar (carbs) added to them. 1 Wendy0513 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
