The recommended sugar intake for adult women is 22 grams of sugar per day, for adult men, itâs 36 grams daily, and for children, itâs 12 grams a day.
For most adults, this works out to be no more than 50g or 12 teaspoons of sugar per day (1 teaspoon holds about 4g of sugar), from all sources of food and drink. However, Australians currently consume about 30 teaspoons of sugar a day on average â more than double the recommended amount!
