This Site Might Help You. RE: What is considered full time in graduate school? A friend of mine is going into SIU&#39;s M.A. program and can&#39;t figure out what full time is. Somehow this become my job to discover.
If you are on a standard 2,000-calorie diet, this means that you should be eating no more than 500 calories from sugar, or 125 grams. Like all carbohydrates, sugar contains 4 calories per gram. The USDA recommendations are lower than the IOM's.
How much is 10 percent? Well, in a 2000-calorie-a-day diet, 10 percent would be equal to about 50 grams, or 10 teaspoons of sugar. Unfortunately, most Americans consume 30 to 40 teaspoons or more of refined sugar per day.
