Points???

can someone explain all these point things to me??

ALSO, can you guys give me some good snacks to buy during my lunch break that fit into the 'good points' criteria??

In an attempt to eat healthy, I will try anything!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My recommendation is to go to the Weight Watchers website and play around with it. Although in a pinch, processed 1 or 2 point snacks are good, try not to eat like 6 points of those snacks in a day.

Try veggies, fruits, roasted almonds. They make a 100 calorie pack of them now and I saw them at BJs.

Also, on the processed food side, you can't beat a Vita Top!!! It can cure the PMS chocolate and peanut butter craving!!! TRUST ME!!

Every food has a points value and every person has a daily points target. Food points are based on calories, fat and fiber of a food, and it's an actual mathematical equation (but I have no idea what it is).

Basically you try to eat as many foods as you can for your daily points. What WW calls 'Filling Foods' have fewer points, and therefore you can eat more of them (i.e. fruits/veggies, whole grains, protein). This is meant to encourage us to eat these instead of crap, because the crap foods are often higher in points.

My go-to snacks are usually:
fruit
yogurt
popcorn
smoothies
english muffin
fiber one bars
100 cal pack

Even if you dont go to WW...just go to a center and have them explain the points and the way everything works to you.

The low/no points snacks that I eat are:

100 calorie hotess coffee cakes
carrots (my favorite food..i eat them wayy too much)
salad w/ ff dressing
fat free ruffles (1 pt per 17 chips)
light bagel w/ ww cream cheese
pb&j on a wole grain english muffin
jollytime popcorn

Look for foods that are low in fat and high in fiber. Those are the low calorie foods!

Center staff won't go through the details of the program until she registers. It's policy.
