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.
Sugar Recommendations. The American Heart Association has specific limits for how much added sugar you should consume in one day. Women should limit added sugar consumption to 6 teaspoons, or about 100 calories. Men should limit sugar intake to 9 teaspoons, or approximately 150 calories. Just one can of soda contains about 8 teaspoons of sugar, well over the entire daily recommendation for women.
