Daily Limits. Sugar doesnât have a set recommendation per serving, however, the American Heart Association established limits for how much you should have for the entire day. As a man, you shouldnât consume any more than 150 calories from added sugars.This amounts to 9 teaspoons or roughly 36 grams.If youâre a woman though, keep your calories from added sugars to less than 100 calories daily -- 6 teaspoons or around 24 grams. Because sugar limits are set for the day, not by the serving, youâll want to keep tabs on your sugar intake and spread out your allowance.his amounts to 9 teaspoons or roughly 36 grams.
