Grams Of Sugar Per Day



Recommended Posts

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.

That comes out to 6 tsp of sugar.

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.

American Heart Assoc. says no more than 25gr. But I don't know about after LB, I would think they would go by AHA.

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.

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.
