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. If you're eating more calories, you can take in more sugar. Figure out exactly how much sugar you're allowed using the calculator below.
