Have a Question for Weight Watcher People

I do WW online, but I am confused when I put in the online tools 3/4 Puffin Cereal are 1 point. So double that would be 1 and a half cups should be 2 points...right? Well when I put 1 and a half cups in the online tools it says 3.5 points? That is a big difference. Does anybody know why or can someone ask at the next meeting...what is up with that?

Thanks

I can tell you why...

When points are calculated for one serving size, the online calculator may come up with 1 point, but the actual number based on the formula (which, if you want, I have), may be 1.4 and it rounded down. When you have 2 servings of something, you multiple the calories, fat, and fiber by 2 (if you have more than 2 servings, you multiply it by that number). Because of rounding, and more times than not, the fiber cap, you may wind up with more than double the amount of points.

Conversely, sometimes 2 servings of something may wind up being less than double the points, depending on what the actual number is.

Always multiply the nutritional information, not the points.

Thanks I also asked on WW and they said that it is the fiber. That that cereal has a lot of fiber so when I double it the Cap on the Fiber of 4 doesn't benifit the doubled amount. Hmmm it made a lot of sense the way they discribed it....I can't explain it as well!!!



Stace How have you been doing? I lost 1.5 pounds this week but it is so hard with my family because they love Ice Cream!!! Friendlys to be exact. This week I had a huge Sundae and still lost!!!

Oh Margaret, that's great!

Me, I am maintaining....I still gained 5 back and am unable to lose right now. Granted I am not eating 'WELL'. Just started the Beach Body tapes and I am hoping that change up will help me. It is so very hard to get back on track when the scale doesn't show any effort! Thanks for asking about me!
