So... as you may recall, ia m doing this on my own with the journal, the
Complete Food Companion and the Dining Out Guide (which I rarely use). The
Complete Food Companion is supposed to give me my points info. For carrots
one cup of raw is 0 points. What if I eat 2 carrots? How do I know the
multiplication factor on these foods? Thanks

Stephanie

My recollection, actually, is that they don't give you any different
material than the complete food companion. Doe they breed lack of clear
information to promote your need to continue paying?

I am denser than the average bear. Rather than use the food companion, I can
just go to the USDA website and use the straight data.

How about a link? I am also an independent and I counted points differently
than a friend who uses a WW computer regarding a 'Cup of Soup'. He came up
with '1', and I count it as 4.1.

two things here, if you get the monthly pass, you get etools which will give
you all the points info you could possibly want, fex. i know that 140 gm of
strawberries is 0 points, and 141 gm is .5 points, and i also keep track so
i don't do too much of this. so it may be worth your while to do the 3
months you need to get the materials, which are in fact pretty new,
including the pocket guide of points to carry with you...

also yes it is hard for everyone.. but when you consider the health
improvement, and potentail saving from not getting ill, and the savings of
getting back into clothes that are gret just too small you could really be
saving,

not trying to be harsh but even if you don't want to go to goal, that first
ten/twelve weeks is a rock solid foundation to build on, and you can use
that time to get points stuff out of the ww data base that you think you
might want to eat in the future,

I don't use the USDA directly though I do beleive they do have a searchable
database. I enter the recipes I use into Living Cookbook. That software got
its food database from USDA.

No they tell you to calculate a total points based on the calories, fat, and
fiber of the portion size you actually eat. It's very clear. However you
must have the points slider or calculator to do so. To get those items, you
need to be a WW member. In addition, it is your responsibility to find the
nutrition information (calories, fat, fiber) on your own.
