What should be our maximum grams of sugar per day? The reason I am asking is that many foods, such as yoghurt and Protein bars, offer the "correct" number of caloris (300 or less) but 20g of sugar. The 20g seems awfully high. So how many grams of sugar should be the limit for a meal and for an entire day?

Thanks in advance for any insights.

I’ve cut out most processed foods and my sugar consumption is very minimal. I can’t tell you what a difference it’s made to my moods and energy levels. My tastebuds no longer need that hit of sweetness that only come from laboratories and whole food like tart strawberries and oranges do the trick. If I really crave chocolate, I go for dark chocolate chips.

That is wonderful. I haven’t had added sugar in a long time, but I sometimes still crave sweets. Usually, one sugar-free chocolate (Stevia) will suffice.

I did try one bite of a delicious baked good I made for my family once. It was sickening sweet! Yuck.
