Millet question!

I was digging around in the store cupboard last night and came across
some millet... Not in a packet, in a storage jar, so no nutritional
info at all! Anyone got any ideas what the point values are for
millet, or some nutritional info so I can work it out? I need the KCALs
and saturated fat content to work it out in my UK WW Database
calculator. This is husked millet seed people food, not bird food!

Hi Kate. Here on WW Canada Online they list millet as having the following
points:

1 cup cooked millet: 4 points
1/4 cup uncooked millet: 3 points

Millet, cooked 1 cup or 174g:
207.1 kcal, 1.7 g fat (0.3g saturated), 2.3 g fiber

Millet, raw 1 cup or 200g:
756 kcal, 8.4 g fat (1.4g saturated), 17 g fiber

Thanks! Someone on the cooking news group pointed me at a site that
worked out at 5.5 points per 100g uncooked and 1.5 points per 100g of
cooked millet.

Nicely done, thanks! Works out about the same as the calculations I
did, which worked out as follows:

100g raw millet: 5.5 WW points (UK)
100g cooked millet: 1.5 WW points
