Daily Sugar Intake Calculator

Daily Sugar Intake Calculator

The World Health Organization recommends keeping free sugars below 10% of your daily energy, and ideally under 5% for extra health benefits. This calculator turns your daily calorie intake into a maximum free-sugar amount in both grams and teaspoons, at the 10% limit and the stricter 5% target. Free sugars include sugar added to foods and drinks plus the sugars in honey, syrups and fruit juice — not the natural sugars in whole fruit, vegetables and milk.

Free sugars = sugars added to food plus those in honey, syrups and fruit juice. Naturally occurring sugars in whole fruit, vegetables and milk are not counted.
