WW question

hey girls...

So i think i learned something new today about the WW diet....but heres the thing. I go on and off weight watchers and never knew this...i dont know if its right...but it makes a lot of sense. I have never been to a WW meeting...i have always done WW on my own. lol

So....im going to use soup as an example. It says right on the label...its 1 WW point per serving. There are 2 servings in the can. I have always counted the whole can as 2 points.....why not right?

So im talking with a friend at work and she told me....Noo...lol...its 3 points for the whole can. I looked at her confused...she explained...that you double the cal count...fat count and Dietary fiber....and it comes out to 3 points. You dont just double the point count.

Hmm....very interesting logic...i completely understand...but is it right??

Damn...is this why I dont loose as much weight as other people do??? haha

Please tell me whats right...

Your friend is right. You dont just double the points..you need to double the calories, total fat, and dietery fiber.

For example: 1 pack of 100 calorie cupcakes = 1 point. But if I have two packages, it comes out to 3 points after doubling the nutriotional info.

I found this out at a meeting a few months into WW...before that I didn't know.

So 0 point foods...may not be be 0 points if you eat more than the serving size!

Yup, what Colleen said.

A good 0 point example is FF cool whip. It's 0 points for one serving (2 tablespoons). But if you eat the whole container, it's 8 points.
