This Site Might Help You. RE: What is considered full time in graduate school? A friend of mine is going into SIU&#39;s M.A. program and can&#39;t figure out what full time is. Somehow this become my job to discover.
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.
They state that a healthy person should get no more than 6-10% of their total calories from sugar. That works out to between 40 and 55 grams per person eating a 2,000 calorie a day diet. If you're eating fewer calories, you should take in less sugar.
