How many grams of sugar should I have per day?
The 2015 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends that less than 10 percent of daily calories come from added sugars. That's under 200 calories, or 50 grams, in a 2,000-calorie diet.
Reality check: If you've been avoiding fruits that are high in sugar, you can stop. The guidelines are only for added sugars, not those naturally occurring in unprocessed food.
