[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just started using My Fitness Pal to track my calorie intake.  Is there a way to adjust the amount of sugar or other diet components?  It says I'm supposed to have 29 grams of sugar a day total, and I'm already 45 grams over that!  I have eaten a greek yogurt, a banana, baby carrots, and grapes that have each contributed a whole lot of sugar to my diet.  I can understand swapping out the greek yogurt with added fruit for a plain yogurt, and that's fine, but I'd still be way over this total amount it says I'm supposed to be eating.  Aside from totally cutting out fruit, which I don't think is healthy, is there any way to meet this very low limit?[/quote]

I wonder why you are only allowed 29g of sugar?

What are your stats?

I'm 153 and 5'9" and trying to get to 145 and am allowed 57 and 1500cal.

[u]I already ate 28 grams of sugar and all I have logged today is:[/u]
Omelet with Kale, cheddar, and chix sausage in it. 
1/4 cup raw/unsalted trail mix (sunflower, raisins, cashews)
Plain Unsweetened Yogurt cup
Chicken Curry (no rice no dairy, just chicken and heavy spices and onions)

How in the heck could someone possibly keep their sugar grams under 29?! Especially in light of what I'm eating? I have no added sugar in my diet at all.

OP here - I have no idea, I never adjusted any of the amounts and that's just what it gave me.  Thanks to PPs for pointing out that I can change it.  I am trying to watch added sugars, processed foods, etc. but didn't want to feel like I was being punished for eating fruit!

I am 5"6', 142, trying to get down to about 135 but will settle for 137 or so.  [/quote]
