This section mirrors the spirit of the in-app info area — giving users a clear explanation of why added sugar awareness matters, what counts as added sugar, and why the app focuses on added sugar instead of every type of sugar.
Added sugar means sugar that is added during processing, preparation, or serving — not the natural sugar found inside whole fruit, plain milk, or other unsweetened whole foods.
Even when juice contains naturally derived sugar, it can behave more like a sugary product in real life because much of the fruit’s original fiber structure is removed and the sugar becomes easier to consume quickly.
Added sugar can build up quietly through drinks, snacks, desserts, sauces, and packaged foods. knowsugar helps make that invisible number visible, so users can build awareness and make better daily choices.
Log food items, see how the ring changes, and use the day’s numbers to stay aware of your intake. knowsugar is built to reduce complexity, not add more of it.
The app provides a personalized daily added sugar limit to give users a clear upper boundary. The goal is not perfection — it is awareness, consistency, and a practical way to make day-to-day decisions.
knowsugar includes a score-based and trend-based view of progress. This adds a light layer of motivation while helping users understand patterns over 7-day and 30-day periods.
The app includes a dedicated added sugar search API designed specifically around sugary foods and drinks. This helps keep search results more relevant to the app’s purpose and creates room for the database to grow over time.
knowsugar focuses on added sugars so users can understand the sugars that are easiest to miss in everyday drinks, snacks, desserts, sauces, and packaged foods.
knowsugar focuses on added sugars — the sugars and syrups added to drinks, desserts, snacks, sauces, and packaged foods. These are often the sugars that add up quickly and are easy to underestimate.
We do not count the natural sugars found in whole fruit, plain milk, or unsweetened whole foods, because those foods also provide nutrients, fiber, protein, or natural structure that can support steady energy.
By focusing only on added sugar, knowsugar keeps your daily number simple, practical, and easier to act on.
The GLP-1 companion view is designed to make added sugar easier to understand meal by meal, while keeping the language educational and focused on awareness.
For GLP-1 users, knowsugar organizes added sugar around two simple guides: a 10g meal guide and a 30g daily guide. The weekly analysis view helps users see which meals stayed within range, which meals went higher, and how the week is trending overall.
This is not medical guidance. It is a practical wellness view that helps users notice patterns, compare days, and understand where added sugar is coming from.
Meal-level visibility: each entry is tracked as M1, M2, M3, and so on, making it easier to review what happened during the day.
Weekly analysis: stacked columns show daily totals and meal-level patterns, with a 30g daily guide for easy comparison.
Report-ready data: meal labels, home/outside tags, weekly totals, and top added sugar sources can support clearer habit reports over time.
knowsugar keeps tracking simple by focusing on added sugars — the sweeteners added to drinks, desserts, snacks, sauces, and packaged foods.
knowsugar focuses on added sugars because these are often the sugars that are easiest to overlook and quickest to add up during the day.
For GLP-1 users, this can be especially useful when meals are smaller or more intentional. The app helps organize added sugar awareness around meal entries, daily totals, and weekly patterns.
We do not count the natural sugars found in whole fruit, plain milk, or unsweetened whole foods, because those foods also provide nutrients, fiber, protein, or natural structure that can support steady energy.
Added sugar: comes from sweeteners added to drinks, desserts, snacks, sauces, and packaged foods. These can add up quickly and may make it harder to stay within your daily goal.
Natural sugar: is found in whole foods like fruit and plain milk. These foods also provide nutrients, fiber, protein, or natural structure that can support steady energy.

knowsugar is a wellness and education tool. It is not medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, medication guidance, or a replacement for professional care.
knowsugar was built to stay simple enough for everyday use, while still giving users meaningful information about their added sugar patterns.
Answer a few basic questions so the app can estimate a personalized added sugar limit and tailor the experience to the user.
