1 Shoot for 100 calories (6 1â2 teaspoons) a day of added sugars if youâre a woman and 150 calories (9 1â2 teaspoons) a day if youâre a man. 2  Even less may be better for your heart. 3  Donât drink sugar-sweetened beverages. 4  Limit fruit juices to no more than 1 cup a day.
The American Heart Association (AHA) recommends limiting the amount of added sugars you consume to no more than half of your daily discretionary calories allowance. For most American women, thatâs no more than 100 calories per day, or about 6 teaspoons of sugar. For men, itâs 150 calories per day, or about 9 teaspoons. The AHA recommendations focus on all added sugars, without singling out any particular types such as high-fructose corn syrup. For more detailed information and guidance on sugar intake limits, see the scientific statement in the August 2009 issue of Circulation, Journal of the American Heart Association.
