The recipes in the book use NO TABLE SUGAR or HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP. 
"SUGARS" here refer to the nutritional values of the products using honey,
blackstrap molasses, dried fruits, etc.

WHY SETTLE FOR A "COMMERCIAL ENERGY BARS" IDEA OF WHAT GOOD NUTRITION IS .......................................
Personalize your bread

Make it the way you want it........low "sugars", low calorie, high calorie,
high protein, high fiber, fat free, cholesterol free, no oils or preservatives,
40-30-30, fresh fruits only, aphrodisiac, chock full of nuts, etc., etc.
There are 100's of pug bread possibilities......Click the box below to see
some possible ingredients:

"Sugars" Content as low as 5g per serving can be achieved in pugs
like "Dieter's DeLITE" (not a published recipe)(a modification of the recipe for "Banana Pumpkin Whopper.")
[27g Tl Carbohydrates/123 calories] per serving.

*Note: Although the "sugars" content is not listed on the master "PUG RECIPES" page
in the book, it is on each individual recipe's page along with all other nutritional
info (click here to see sample recipe page)

The majority of recipes in the book have "sugars" values around 30g per serving. 
This value comes from  a basic recipe theme of using 1 cup of honey +¼ cup of
blackstrap molasses (high in iron) per loaf. This translates into 1 tablespoon of honey
per slice which has 60 calories and 16g of "sugars". (The molasses adds about 3g of
"sugars" per slice).

You can easily make pugs (and granola) with "sugars" and calories values much
lower by adjusting (or eliminating) the amounts of honey/molasses and dried fruits.
Remember "P" stands for "Personalized" and that's the main theme of the recipe book.
The purpose of pages 25 & 26 (E-Z NUTRITIONAL COMPARISON CHART) which lists the
nutritional values of many possible ingredients (all in 1 cup values) is to help you
make recipes with the nutritional values that are best for you.

Prune juice, brown rice syrup and stevia are other good "sweeteners" choices (instead of honey) 
for pugs that will achieve a much lower "sugars" and calories value. There is plenty of 
information in the recipe book to accomplish this. 

The pug bread recipe book does have some tasty lower  "sugars" / calorie pugs
you might want to try also. See the recipes for:
"The Eliminator" [19g "Sugars"/serving], "Cran-Newton" [18g "Sugars"/serving],
or "OJ PUG" [15g "Sugars"/serving].

THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF POSSIBILITIES..............
Craft your own Granola

Other lower "sugars" / calorie granolas can be made by modifying the E - Z Trails Granola recipe in the book.  By substituting prune juice for the honey/molasses/maple syrup combination, and then adjusting the amounts of raisins and chopped dates,  your granola could have approximately 2g of "sugars" (222 calories) per ½ cup serving.
