Sugar Intake Guideline Formula
$$\text{Max Sugar (g)} = \frac{\text{Daily Calorie Intake} \times 10\%}{4}$$
Explanation:
According to WHO guidelines, free sugars should not exceed 10% of total daily calories. Since each gram of sugar contains 4 kcal, we divide the 10% portion by 4 to get the daily gram limit.
Limiting sugar intake can help reduce the risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and dental issues. This calculator provides an estimate of your sugar allowance per day based on your energy needs. You can also use it to compare actual intake versus the recommended limit and make dietary adjustments.
