WHO max = 10% of total calories ÷ 4 g/kcal AHA: ≤36 g/day (men), ≤25 g/day (women)
  • Sugar Intake Calculator gives you a fast estimate using your inputs and updates instantly when you change any value.
  • Formula: WHO max = 10% of total calories ÷ 4 g/kcal\nAHA: ≤36 g/day (men), ≤25 g/day (women)
  • Input definitions: • Daily Calorie Intake: the numeric daily calorie intake used in the calculation
  • Enter values using the units shown next to each input field (e.g. kg, cm, years).
  • This calculator uses widely accepted health formulas and returns screening estimates only. It does not replace a diagnosis from a qualified healthcare professional.
  • Compare your result with published reference ranges. Values outside the normal range warrant a conversation with your doctor.
  • Practical tip: test a low, medium, and high scenario to understand sensitivity before making decisions.

Example Calculation

Inputs
  • Daily Calorie Intake: 2000 kcal/day

Suppose you enter: Daily Calorie Intake = 2000. The calculator applies the formula (WHO max = 10% of total calories ÷ 4 g/kcal\nAHA: ≤36 g/day (men), ≤25 g/day (women)) and shows all output values below. Change any input field to immediately see how the result changes.
