Need help with point counting...

How many points does pesto add to the chicken?

How do you measure chicken if you get it dices in the takeout places for the salad? I can't really measure it with my hand!

Thanks girls

Alina you gotta eyeball it and decide if those diced chk pieces would fill the palm of your hand or if they would spill out of it. Guesstimate and then add a point to be safe....

Rachel, thanks!!!

I am gonna guess that it was 2 palms worth of the chicken, so about 6 pts if no pesto.

How do I acct for pesto? Or Roasted Peppers?

Pesto has a lot of Fat. You can probably look up a point value for Pesto (try Dottie's Weight Loss Zone) if you want to get an estimate. I wouldn't underestimate though - there's a lot of oil, nuts and cheese in pesto.

Hm, so Ok, I'll add 3 pts for pesto in addition to the 6 pts for chicken, which I didn't finish.

I can live with a 15 pts as of now, still room for snack!

2 Tbsp (1 ounce) of Pesto is 3 points
