Question:
What, if any, is a realistic amount of Sugar (in grams)

that cam be eaten at a meal? I know I'll get all different answers as everyone is different, but what did your nutritionist/dietician give you as an average?    — lily1968 (posted on June 30, 2001)

BTC says to keep sugar under 6 grams per meal/serving.

Our doc says 6g per meal. Figure 1g for the peas, 1 g for the potatos, 1 g for the meat, then add up everytign else. Not much, huh? So, you become a REALLY good label reader. I think Allie has gotten her eyes back in her head since finding out how much sugar is in milk, but there are other surprise, too!

It depends upon the food. A banana has alot of sugar but not the kind that causes dumping. I have always used milk as an example of the max amount of sugar per serving - about 12 grams. I completely stay away from refined sugars.
