[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oops just had a doughnut! Shoot. [/quote]

I just had some vanilla ice cream, about 1/2 cup. If I don't eat anymore sweet stuff today it should be ok!

So hard![/quote]

I think it’s important not to think about this as you can never have any sugar ever. I think leaving room for that 24 g a day gives you a whole candy bar if you want it. Then if you do have a special day no more than say once a week, I think it’s fine to blow the limit and not worry about it.[/quote]

Thank you, good reminder! [/quote]

This has been eye opening for me! Thanks for the thread.

I was pretty naive and figured avoiding sweets and beer wine would get me down to 25!

I had not really paid attention to the amount of sugar on my daily, relatively healthy snacks.  
Oat milk (10g) with oatmeal
Banana and Peanut butter ~18
Nuts and cranberries ~15

I’m already over and this is just a count of my breakfast plus snacks!

Good to realize.

Thanks and good luck. [/quote]

I’m only looking at ADDED sugar, not total sugar. Banana and peanut butter will be very low or zero. My PB has no added sugar, Jif has 2 g added sugar. If you also count all sugar, you’ll find it impossible to stay under 25 g and eat fruit or dairy. Cranberries are usually sugared but you can swap for raisins which have no added sugar. The non-dairy milks do have a lot of added sugar, but if you like them, then they can be in your daily allotment.[/quote]
