    Sugar in my coffee !

    I have 2 cups of coffee and 2 cups of tea everyday. That means total of 3 TABLESPOONS of sugar TOTAL per day.
    You think that is too much for someone who is some-what sensitive to carbs. I have to eat less than usual carbs to stay lean but I am lean. No one can say I am not. You can see all my abs BUT I am not one of those that is natural very lean and do not have paper thin skin - I am not that type of lean. I have to maintain my diet and exercise to stay like this, which is fine with me.
    Any recommendations on the sugar , shall I cut that out as well or reduce it further ? Any advise .....
    thx

    When on I want to add mass.
    So i suppose there might be two suggestions for each separate goal. Thx

    I see what you mean.
    You know how you can always improve, but yeah, over-thinking also screws up things ...

    Since you are already sensitive to carbs all that sugar will spike your insulin even more so which is not a good idea....

    yes some think artificial is bad but then again the alternative of spiking your insulin over a prolonged period of time is not good either...
    I use splenda....
