World Health Organization (WHO) â The World Health Organization recommends that the daily sugar intake does not make more than 10 percent of your calorie intake per day. This means that the amount of sugar per day you can consume is around 50 grams. These recommendations were passed in 2002, but WHO is seeking to change their own guidelines by dropping its daily sugar intake recommendations from 10 percent of your calorie intake to 5 percent.
This means that if 2,000 calories a day is about your average, you shouldnât have more than 100 calories from added sugar. Because carbohydrates contain 4 calories per gram, this amounts to a maximum of 25 grams of added sugar per day. Sugar, being a carbohydrate, takes up some of your total carb allotment for the day. While your specific carbohydrate needs may vary, generally getting 45 to 60 grams at each meal is a starting point for managing diabetes, the American Diabetes Association suggests.
