Yes.

But you're missing the point. The calculation for points incorporates
a low-fat, high-fiber bias. Some of that will show up in calorie
counts, some of it will not.

"You're missing the point" is always one of those "push your button"
statements that turns me off.

I'm definitely NOT missing the point here. Look at the point equation and
you'll see what I mean - varying the fat and fiber components simply does
not affect the point value much. It's almost entirely calories.
