1. What is Sugar Per Day?

Sugar per day is a measure of average daily sugar consumption, calculated by dividing total sugar intake over a period by the number of days in that period. It helps track and manage sugar consumption for better health.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple formula:

Where:

• Total Sugar — Amount of sugar consumed in grams
• Days — Number of days over which the sugar was consumed

Explanation: This calculation gives the average daily sugar intake, which can be compared to recommended daily limits.

3. Importance of Tracking Sugar Intake

Details: Monitoring daily sugar intake helps maintain healthy eating habits, prevents excessive sugar consumption, and reduces risk of health issues like diabetes and obesity.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter total sugar in grams and the number of days. Both values must be positive numbers (sugar > 0, days ≥ 1).

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What's the recommended daily sugar intake?
A: WHO recommends less than 50g (about 12 teaspoons) of added sugar per day for adults, with additional benefits below 25g.

Q2: Does this include natural sugars?
A: You can calculate either total sugars or just added sugars, depending on what you input as "Total Sugar".

Q3: How accurate should my measurements be?
A: For best results, measure sugar precisely using nutrition labels or a kitchen scale, especially when tracking over short periods.

Q4: Can I use this for weekly averages?
A: Yes, simply enter your weekly total sugar and 7 days to get your daily average.

Q5: What if my intake varies day to day?
A: The calculator gives an average. For variable intake, track over longer periods (weeks or months) for more meaningful averages.
