That sugar intake is fine. On days I run, myfitnesspal recommends no more than 86g of sugar. Yesterday I only took in 73g (also from milk and fruit). I read somewhere the average American consumes like 150g of sugar in a day. Way too much. On a day I don't workout, I try to limit my sugar to under 40g.

The protein does seem a bit high, but maybe it's better for you. I've been reading a lot of research that says 1-2g of protein per kg of body weight for athletes is about right. Of course it's different for everyone though. I don't take in nearly that much protein. It's way too much for me. I'm at about 1.10g per kg I think on normal days, days I work out heavy it increases to about 1.5g per kg.

See below for a sugar graphic. It's crazy how much sugar people eat... I like sweets every now and then, but this pic is disturbing.
