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 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.
