I actually did try to do this and found that a lack of sugar could be as much of a problem as too much sugar. Therefore, I now calculate how much sugar I put into my body, both from sweets/chocolate etc and from fruit, and I was wondering if I was calculating this correctly, hence me starting the conversation.

To clarify, my enquire re fruit is actual pieces of fruit and not fruit products such as fruit juice.
