Answer: Less than 10%.

Explanation: the US dietary guidelines advise people to limit their intake to less than 10% of their daily calorie intake. For a person eating 2,000 calories per day, this would equal 50 grams of sugar, or about 12.5 teaspoons ( 8 ). If you are healthy, lean and active, these seem like reasonable amounts.
