tabre1283 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Sorry if this has been asked before... I am new to whole30 and still trying to work out the kinks in my planning phase. I've read the book and refer back to it often. As far sugar is concerned I'm a bit confused and I'm hoping someone can help. When reading the ingredient list I'm not finding any sugars added, but under the nutritional information it lists 1 or 2 grams (for example). Which do I pay attention to, the Ingredients or the nutritional information? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFChris Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Ingredients list is where to focus. If every single ingredient is compliant, you're good. Some products may have zero sugar or sweeteners in the ingredients and have grams of sugar on the nutritional label. That would mean there is naturally occuring sugar in the product, which is ok on a Whole30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabre1283 Posted January 27, 2016 Author Share Posted January 27, 2016 That's what I figured, but I didn't want to assume. Thank you so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurade Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 This was confusing to me as well, at first, everything has sugar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirkor Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Imagine if a piece of fruit had a nutritional label. It's still going to have sugar, because fructose. But the ingredients will just be: "Ingredients: apple." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laurade Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I have a question, I think I know the answer, but I want to ask anyway....today is my start date. I made egg muffins with veggies and eggs and turkey sausage. I searched high and low for bacon or sausage without sugar. Thought I found it in Jennie O turkey sausage..then I was re reading the sneaky sugars and saw dextrose. I saw that was in the ingredients list. So technically I can't have the sausage, correct? Since it is day 1 and my first meal, I figured I would just keep going and extra day, but wanted to double check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No added sugar or any sweetener of any kind, period. Sorry. It's a good lesson learned to read the ingredient label on every single item, every time (as ingredients can change).

praxisproject Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 If you can't eat them before your new Day 1, you could freeze them for after your Whole30 or give them away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
