    How many grams of sugar is "ok" for cutting?

    Im assuming the less sugar the better?

    I don't eat fruit but I get a couple grams of sugar from my protein shake... I take 3 scoops its about 3grams of sugar

    but I sometimes like to put a VERY tiny bit of BBQ sauce with my chicken like a super tiny amount just to add some flavor in my mouth....a tsp is about 4 grams of sugar ....I use about less then a tsp only about once a day

    So I am just curious what is an appropriate amount of sugar I should be having for cutting or which is "acceptable" to have? is 20g too much? 10g ? ??
    Basically what the thread is
    Too LEgit to QUit

    Depends on your cutting approach.

    If you're doing a ketogenic diet I think you need to stay lower than 20-40g/day? Sorry if I'm wrong; I'm still learning about keto diets myself.

    Good cutting resources on this site are sassy, Built, and FMJ, who is/was using a ketogenic diet.

    Depends on the sugar. I try to have little to no sucrose (table white sugar). I stay lowish on lactose and fructose, but it's not as bad as sucrose.

    Remember though, some things like white rice have a higher GI than table sugar..

    I would Basically worry about The Calorie intake, For me I cut down on anything with alot of Sugar, Pop candy etc, Stick with the proper amounts of "Natural" Foods.

    NO Sugar.

    Now, Carb Intake....depends on your approach/diet. I'm currently aiming for a MAX of 20g per day, (usually ends up closer to 8~10g) but in other cases for other folks, 20~50g per day might be a do-able range.
    Of course, someone once said that they could get ripped from/while eating table sugar........I'd like to the the results of their attempt.
