Please Check my point counting
I have a friend who uses a WW computer to count points.
His tally is '1' for a 'Cup of Noodles'. Calories 300 grams fat 7 grams Fiber 2 He is having very severe vision problems, so he may be imputing the computer incorrrectly. I get 6.16 points. 300 cal, plus fat (4x13g)52= 352; minus fiber (2gx10)20=332; substract 24= 308; divide by 50=6.16 I hope someone can straighten me out? If I am in error at least I am erring in the correct direction. In advance, thanks, . . . .charlie. |

If I am in error at least I am erring in the correct direction. No way in heck a "cup of noodles" is just 1 point. I am not sure where you got your formula, but the formula is (http:// www.thefactsaboutfitness.com/research/diet.htm): (calories/50) + (fat grams/12) - (min{r, 4}/5), which for the above numbers, becomes: (300/50) + (7/12) - (2/5) 6 + .58 - .4 = 6.18, and since point amounts are rounded to the nearest whole number, you need to round it to 6.
