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.
The Need-to-Know. The American Heart Association recommends no more than six teaspoons (about 30 grams) of sugar per day for women, or nine teaspoons (45 grams) per day for men. And for men and women ages 19 to 30, the USDA recommends two cups of fruit per day.
