Today I read that the American Heart Association recommends that men shouldn't eat more than 50g sugar per day but the World Health Organization say that 6-10% of your daily calories can be made up of sugar.
WHAT.
There's a potential for a superhumongous difference there. If Michael Phelps eats 10k calories per day, that means he can safely consume 1000g of sugar per day. WHO says he can consume 1000g per day, AHA says he can have 50g. So apparently two expert corporations on the topic completely disagree on safe guidelines regarding the most addictive and potentially dangerous substances consumed by pretty much everyone on a daily basis. What a terrifying thought. I'm exaggerating a little but...
What sugar boundaries do you follow? I've recently been at 3400 cals per day but I increased it to 3715 because I wasn't gaining weight. Currently eating about 130-150g/day Can I eat as much as 370g/day or should I try lowering it to <100? Diabetes runs in my family too.
Does your body's tolerance for sugar (meaning in a good way, not like insulin resistance or anything) increase with your weight or is everyone equally weak to the white powder *wink wink*
