Added Sugar Limits

The Dietary Guidelines recommend that added sugars make up no more than 10% of daily calories. The American Heart Association suggests even lower limits.

Formula

Max Sugar (g) = Daily Calories x 0.10 / 4

Each gram of sugar has 4 calories. One teaspoon of sugar equals about 4 grams.

计算示例

A person consuming 2,000 calories per day.

  1. Max sugar calories = 2,000 x 0.10 = 200 kcal
  2. Max sugar grams = 200 / 4 = 50 g
  3. In teaspoons = 50 / 4 = 12.5 tsp
