Too much sugar? Help! 😩

Question

Hello! So I've always liked a treat! Always been 5"7 and a size 10 so healthy weight. My question is I recently downloaded MyFitnessPal and swear by entering everything I eat! My sugar is always about 60-120g per day!!!

Now this includes sugars in my milk which some say doesn't count but am I bad for eating a big bag of revels and having a cake all in one day?!

Seems silly to me as that's the norm but seeing the sugar on my app scares me!

I don't drink anything apart from water. So that's my plus as I don't consume sugary drinks, and my breakfast is always cereal followed by a salad lunch and a chicken dinner with potatoes or salad, the odd "kid" dinner of chips and frozen breaded chicken but apart from chocolate and cake is my only downfall!

I must also say at 33 weeks my girly was weighing 5lbs 14! But my glucose test came back fine! I don't know! 😂😩🍫✋🏻🤔

Answer

Sometimes we just have big babies. 😂 it's ok. If your eating healthy and doing what you can, then she is fine.

Remember that weight ultrasounds are never right. They can be off +/- 1-3 pounds.

My daughter was six days early and was 8lbs 5oz. She would have been close to 9 if I went the whole way. We are expecting another "big" baby this time around. 😂

Answer

120g of sugar seems like a lot to me, so I would probably try to stay at the other end of that range if it is a daily thing, then occasionally indulge a bit more..I'm a worry wart though so that's just me. Plus I've always been taught sugar is the devil in regards to weight gain lol. If your blood sugar is fine and your doctor hasn't said anything in regards to it then I don't see any harm in it..
