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.

Most adult men should consume no more than 37.5 grams (150 calories) or nine teaspoons of added sugar per day. Food items that contain high amounts of added sugar include soft drinks, fruit drinks, alcoholic beverages and processed foods such as frozen dinners and desserts. These items should be eaten sparingly.
