Thanks :) I try to keep my sugar below 4g per item (not including natural fruit sugar).

This has been asked before and this is what our dietitian has mentioned to other members:
On a food label, the sugar listing includes not only refined white sugar, but also fructose (fruit sugar) and lactose (milk sugar). This is why a cup of milk has 12 grams of sugar listed (natural milk sugar), but not one tsp of refined white table sugar. It is very deceiving and confusing, and at present impossible to track. Our dietitian usually suggests that folks track total carbohydrates and keep these in a healthy level, and make a conscious effort to limit sweets, candy, pie, cookies, syrup, jams, pop, etc.
Also, you can type in "track sugar" into the search box above and you will find other message boards about this.
Hope this helps.

Hi!
This might have been asked/suggested before - I just couldn't find it or an answer.
Is there a way to track daily sugar intake? I know it's part of carbs, but I want to keep track of just sugar. And if there isn't, could that be added? You can track Fiber, why not Sugar?
