How many grams of sugar do I need per day?
You don't need any sugar. You're body will break down carbs to create the glucose you need so there is no nutritional requirement specifically for sugar. Sugars are carbs. What you should be concerned with are your macronutrient ratios such as 55/25/20 (%calories from carbs/fat/protein). Keep your caloric consumption where it needs to be, mind the macronutrient ratios, and make sure you're eating a varied diet of quality wholesome foods and you don't need to be concerned about anything else. Good luck and good health!! ♠
How much sugar should you eat a day?
There is no number which applies to everyone and the people who say "none" are perfectly correct in theory. You don't need sugar in your diet but it does exist in many good foods and is almost impossible to avoid. Therefor, eating some sugar is almost necessary. However, the ideal amount required will vary from person to person and for the same person from time to time depending on a wide range of reasons. Sugar is just a carbohydrate. However, some people, such as athletes or marathoners, need sugar because it's an excellent source of quick energy. That same amount of sugar, however, could kill a diabetic. It could also kill a diet if a person was trying to lose fat. And, that same amount of sugar could have no adverse effect for an active person with no special considerations at all. So, how much sugar a person should eat must depend on the person and circumstance and that makes the answer to your question: The minimum amount required for good health. Good luck and good health!! ♠

How many times a day do you feed sugar gliders?
Don't do anything the Witch person told you. The site she gave you is from a company that buys from mill breeders and sells their sugar GLIDERS, not sugar BEARS (see, they changed the name too so their customers couldn't get accurate information) to uneducated owners. They PURPOSELY mislead their customers saying that they're easy to take care of so they can make money. Oh, they also are normally sold underage, sick and full of parasites and deadly diseases too. If you feed them a proper diet (BML, HPW, Pricsilla's, Darcy's Diet, etc.) with fruits, veggies, and mealworms, you should only feed them once a day. Approximately one tablespoon of each item per glider. It seems like a lot, but they eat it throughout the night. If you want to put in a small snack so if they wake up hungry and want a 'midnight' snack during the day, you can put veggies like broccoli in a cup for them.
How much natural sugar should I have a day?
Zero.By that I do not mean cut 100% of all sugars from your diet. I mean that there is zero requirement for sugar in your diet, so how much you “should” have is zero. It’s sort of like asking how much lead you should have in your diet.Now, how much can you have is a different answer. Sugar is naturally found in many beneficial foods, vegetables, fruits, and dairy. When in their natural state, we can tolerate these sugars mostly because of the fiber and other nutrients in the foods, and because it is very hard to overeat the sugar when you have to eat all the stuff with it as well.It may be easy to down several glasses of apple juice, quite a lot harder to eat 8–10 apples required to make that juice! Even sugarcane is fine if you can get a stick of it and gnaw away.So the sugars you eat should be, as much as possible, in their natural forms with all the fiber and nutrients. It isn’t as much about the quantity as the source, but the source will also more effectively regulate the quantity anyway.Cut out as much as you can of anything with sugar (or any of it’s pseudonyms) as ingredients.

How many grams of sugar per day?
How many grams of sugar are alright for a 20 year old male? I'm not overweight (actually lanky) but want to tone up more, so I'm trying to watch what I eat. I've read numbers like 35-40 grams of sugar per day are normal, although that seems terribly low now that I've been looking at labels...I mean, I thought oatmeal was healthy, yet the oatmeal we have has 12 or 14 grams of sugar per packet I believe. A slice of honey wheat bread had like 4. A muffin I had with dinner came with 14 grams or so...it seems like items either have very few (4 or less) or between 10-20 grams per serving (and this isn't counting candies or desserts) Add in the entrees and other sides and you're easily at/above that 35-40 grams per day, and that's drinking only water, no desserts, and no snacking between meals (wheat thins had too much sugar) It just seems odd and hard to hit that amount. Fat's are much easier to stay around 35 grams or so, sodium doesn't seem to be too bad, but sugars...impossible!
How many grams of sugar per day?
Ok so im starting to lift weights and go on a little bit of a diet to gain muscle, im mainly concerned about how much fats and sugar im taking in and when i did a little research on this i read about ppl saying a healthy amount would be 40-50 grams of sugar. Is this true? Because i eat a fat free greek yogurt each morning and that alone has 18g of sugar, already almost half of this so called daily intake!? So is that right or should foods with more than 10g of sugar just be avoided?
How many grams of sugar should I eat per day?
Firstly just to let you know, I am not diabetic, just curious: On some food labels, as a nutrition guide it says that for a 2000 calorie diet for a male, 90 grams of sugar is the recommended amount, however other labels say 70 or 80 grams. I do consume around 70 grams of sugar per day, but much of this sugar comes from fruit and milk I would say, not much from processed sugar. I am a 20 year old male, 184 cm (6feet) tall, and weight 76 KG (around 12 Stones). How much sugar do I need in a day? A banana has 20g of sugar, and apple has around 12g, does this count too? are sugars from fruit and sugars from sweets and chocolate bars/cakes considered equal? I heard that Fructose (fruit sugar) takes a while before reaching the bloodstream and that it is not absorbed fully, however sugar from chocolate or cakes is absorbed very quickly into the bloodstream, is this also true? Also I wanted to ask, is a banana for breakfast ok? For breakfast I usually have a meal replacement shake, which has all the essential vitamins and minerals, along with 18grams of protein, but it also has 10 grams of sugar (mostly fructose, as mentioned in the ingredients). So in the morning for breakfast I am consuming a banana with a shake = 30grams of sugar, 95% fruit sugar. Is this ok? and sometimes I have an extra glass of milk, which means another 10grams of lactose sugar, so sometimes I consume 40grams of sugar for breakfast, is this too much?

Fruits mostly have fructose. Sugar is a different carbohydrate. Glucose is yet again different (it has the most basic molecule structure). The later is consumed by diabetics to avert hypoglycemia. Otherwise unless you have a serious illness that strictly makes you eat according to a diet (diabetes is not such an illness as you can eat whatever you wish as long as you know how to counter the carbs) there is no real diet on these things. The only thing you need to know if you are healthy is that a healthy diet includes NOT eating lots of junk food like hamburgers and french fries. A healthy diet is when you eat a bit of everything. So anyone who says that eating only vegetables and fruits for example, will be actually giving you a bad tip. For example, even though I am diabetic all I do is look at the carbs I eat. I do not limit them in any way, but I just calculate them so I know how much insulin to use.
