Don’t make a meal out of sugar.

There’s sugar added to so many products these days, it’s especially important to avoid making it the main ingredient in your meals. One of the benefits of cooking from scratch at home is that you can avoid being smothered in the usual avalanche of sugar in products like barbecue and pasta sauce, salsa, and salad dressing.

Other sugar sources you may not have suspected:

Peanut butter: Get the kind with an oily layer on top. Most national brands are loaded with sugar, which sops up all the oil.

Jelly and Jam: Choose brands that contain less than 10 grams of sugar per serving. Top-quality spreadable fruits will have even less than that.

Rice, soy, and almond milks: Most of these are sweetened with evaporated cane juice or other sugars.

Energy bars: Treat as cookies.

Coffee confections and energy drinks: Don’t mix addictive substances; if you need caffeine, don’t sweeten it.
