Which is the recommended daily sugar allotment for men and women?

• A. Men 26 g; Women 38 g
• B. Men 60 g; Women 50 g
• C. Men 38 g; Women 26 g
• D. Men 40 g; Women 20 g

Answer: (C)

Daily limit on added sugars is the concept being tested. The best choice sets men at 38 grams and women at 26 grams. This aligns with commonly taught targets that men can consume a bit more sugar than women due to higher energy needs, while still keeping a moderate cap to limit empty calories. The numbers you see reflect practical guidelines used in fitness and nutrition education. Other options either swap the amounts between men and women, propose totals that are much higher than typical recommendations, or pair a relatively high value for men with a very low value for women that doesn’t align with standard guidance.
