The new guidelines state most women should consume no more than 100 calories, and men no more than 150 calories, of added sugar. These numbers average out to about 6 to 9 teaspoons, or 25 to 37.5 grams, of sugar a day.
But it's those sneaky sources of sugar (think sweetened cereal) that I really have to watch out for. And with good reason. Women should only be eating about six teaspoons or 24 grams of sugar a day, according to the American Heart Association.
