??? about Sugar in product

When you look at labels on the back of product. How much sugar is to much. I was going to buy somethings at the store like sepgahtti sauce but i dont know how much sugar grams I should by.

Hi jenji, I usually go no more than 6gms . of sugar per serving. I use that as the guideline. Hope this helps.

Thanks it was close to what i was thinking. I thought 5.LOL

What about carbs in product what is too much?

I'd say 12-15 per serving

I always look for products that have more protein than carbs.  If the carbs are higher, I don't buy the product.  Also, I can't tolerate sugar or sugar alcohols, so it makes things difficult. But, that's just me.  Ask your doc or nut for recommendations.

My doc's rule of thumb is a 2 to 1 ratio of protein to carbs. For instance at the end of the day if you consume 80 grams of protein then you should of only had 40 grams of carbs or less.

If I were you, I would check with your doctor though. Every one has their own food/eating plan for their patients. You can ask 100 doctors their opinions and you will most likely get 100 different answers.

Good Luck!

I was told to have single digits when it comes to sugar. Lower is always better.
