Does anyone else track their sugar intake? I am not a refined sugar person per say, I mostly get my sugar intake from fruit or food/drinks with sugar in them. I try VERY hard to keep it below 25g per day (the recommended amount for women) but it is IMPOSSIBLE =[ This is a screenshot of my sugar intake for today. I realize I could have gone without the Trader Joe's items, but even without those I'm still over. So frustrating.

The 25 grams per day would not include sugar in fruits or natural food. It would be the added white sugar perhaps sugar in fruit juices as well.

When they say recommended amount that means sugar that has been added into foods and not natural sugars such as in fruits and vegetables. You are fine.

How funny, I could have swore I read that natural sugar were included, but I do see now that it says added. Guess that’s hard to track then on this app, since there’s separation of natural vs added sugar

if it's from fruit you subtract the amount of fiber in the fruit and that's the actual sugar intake
