I am having a hard time looking at labels. When I look at the sugar grams is there a certain # I should never go above per serving, and are there times when the amount of fiber lets me have more sugar if the fiber count is high??

I have a tough time deciding what to look at i; the nutrition label #s, or the ingredients, or how to balance the 2.......

anyone have a good way to do this?

I believe that with all foods, the amount of added sugar should be no more than 3 grams per serving. Of course, that doesn't include the natural sugars you'll find in fruit, or the lactose sugar that's in dairy products.

I try to concentrate on the dietary fiber. I think it's recommended that be over six grams in grains? I might be wrong. Pretty much anything with sugar, high fructose corn syrup, or corn syrup in general I avoid.

Hope that helps!
