there is not a daily amount of sugar intake.
sugar should be ate very seldom. check out the link below.
there is a requirment for total carb intake though, which is 130 grams/day.

hope this helps!
You should limit your sugar intake to naturally occurring sugars, such as those in fruits and milk, if you drink it. Your body runs just fine without them.
Most of the recommended limits are for negative things like saturated fats, cholesterol and sodium that really impact heart health. The fact is, purely sugar containing products like sodas really shouldn't be consumed at all. Good luck getting that on a label.
