how much sugar is a 13 year old boy supposed to have?

Question

In grams please! By the way, im 138lbs, 5 feet 7 inches, so proportional in height and weight:)

Answer 1

25 grams per day is 10% of the total carbs you should be eating every day, and that is all that simple sugars should contribute to your diet. This is long and boring, but it might help if you are a diabetic, especially the short video in step 10--

Action Plan for Diabetes

1. Nutrition is the key to getting rid of the cravings. Once you learn about nutrition (#6) and also cleansing out the toxins in the body by doing a colon, liver, and kidney cleanse. You'll be on your way to a healthy life.

2. Keep in mind that the goal of diabetic treatment and self-care is to restore blood sugar levels close to normal and to correct related metabolic disorders. One of the best ways to accomplish this is by eating small, frequent meals throughout the day that emphasize fresh, organic foods that are low on the glycemic scale, such as raw and lightly steamed vegetables, low sugar whole fruits, nuts, seeds, whole grains and legumes, yams, wild fish, poultry, lean cuts of organic beef, lamb or veal.

3. Minimize or eliminate your intake of simple carbohydrates and all sugars, as well as tobacco and processed "junk foods." In addition, reduce your intake of alcohol and caffeine. Both alcohol and caffeine could be enjoyed on special occasions, rather than daily or even weekly habits.

4. Remain hydrated; drinking adequate quantities of pure water is essential for all aspects of your health. Must drink about a gallon of water a day to maintain health. Your body is craving this much more than caffeine and sugar.

5. Engage in regular light exercise and stress reduction because they are KEY to maintaining lower levels of blood sugar.

6. Consider supplementing with nutrients such as B-complex vitamins, vitamin C, vitamin E, CHROMIUM PICOLINATE, magnesium, potassium, essential fatty acids, CoQ10, alpha lipoic acid, and vanadium.

7. Herbs such as astragalus, CINNAMON, bitter melon, fenugreek, raw garlic (one of the best for blood pressure), ginseng, Gymnema sylvestre, and nopal cactus, can also provide significant benefits.

8. If you have already developed Type I or Type II diabetes, combine the above self-care natural cures with professional care from a holistically oriented physician or other alternative health care practitioner. Particularly useful professional care therapies for treating and preventing diabetes include chelation therapy, food allergy testing, parasite testing and if necessary, cleansing, and oxygen therapy.

9. Prevention, if you are pre-disposed and managing a diabetic condition, is a life-long commitment. By committing to the guidelines above, you can significantly improve your symptoms, and, if you suffer from Type II diabetes, quite possibly reverse them altogether. Implementing diet and lifestyle changes can help improve your energy levels, and your confidence in your ability to experience greater health.

Answer 4

I don't know what you should have, but most people get way more sugar than they should. Instead of eating candy, have a piece of fruit. It has fructose which is a form of sugar, but is less and better for you than processed sugar. Lay off the ice cream to a considerable extent.
Also, most cold breakfast cereal has way too much sugar, to. About the only one that doesn't is shredded wheat. Some companies make frosted shredded wheat. Don't choose those brands.
Try, as much as you can, to eat healthy foods. Lay off the starchy and greasy foods such as french fries and burgers. Once in a while they're o.k., but most people eat them too much.

Answer 5

From the limited info , you seem fine.
As for sugar, just stay away from empty sugar calories like sodas or sports drinks.

Ice cream is fine- it is a good source of calcium .
If you want a specific answer I suggest you talk to a dietitian or a sports medicine doctor.
Enjoy.
