If you're concerned about sugar- or more specifically, about stabilizing your insulin levels, you could look into the diabetic diets. In reality, though, the key elements are to be sure to eat complex carbs (whole wheat, as unprocessed as possible, high fibre) and to balance carb intake with protein. Protein and fibre "slow down" the insulin spike associated with simple carbs.

You can find tons of info online about this stuff. You could try starting with a search for "glycemic index" and go from there. I know I didn't answer your question directly, but that's because there isn't really a good answer (numbers-wise) for it. It's more about balance than numbers.
