Im having trouble understanding sugar intake. ive been dieting/exercising its going ok for the most part. how much sugar should i be taking in daily? how much added sugar? having a lot of difficulty finding sugar free and low sugar items near me?

Looks like you are trying to eat healthy meals while watching your sugar intake, so one important way of achieving a healthy diet is to replace carbohydrates having a high glycemic index (eg, white rice, white bread, pancakes) with a low glycemic index (eg, fruits, vegetables), also added sugars should be limited and comprise no more than 10 percent of total calories consumed.
