If you are on a standard 2,000-calorie diet, this means that you should be eating no more than 500 calories from sugar, or 125 grams. Like all carbohydrates, sugar contains 4 calories per gram. The USDA recommendations are lower than the IOM's.
According to the new USDA guidelines, we should really be eating a fraction of that amount. The recommended sugar intake for adult women is 22 grams of sugar per day, for adult men, itâs 36 grams daily, and for children, itâs 12 grams a day. Over time, consistently taking in more sugar will lead to insulin resistance disease, otherwise known as diabetes.
