Default Core Program question

I do the WW online, and I don't think they've explained the new program well
enough for me to understand fully.

If I make a recipe that uses core foods, such as vegetarian burgers plus
potatoes, plus 2 tsp of canola oil that is allowed, does this mean I don't
have to count any part of the recipe? If I add 1 T butter, I only have to
count that part, right?

I could find whole wheat on the list, but not bread. Are all breads/english
muffins off the list and must be counted?

This core program appears to be high protein/low fat/low carb. I know I
can't follow this as a lifestyle choice, but I do need to shake things up a
bit, and this looks like a good way to try. Who knows? Maybe I'll finally
make some more downward moves.

Hey,

All breads, muffins, etc. have to be counted and deducted from the 35
points they give you each week on the Core Plan. If your meal consists of
all Core Foods than there are no point deductions. Hope this helps.

Good Luck,

Kris

Any food that isn't on the core food list is not a core food.. like bread
etc..

be capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the
safety labels off everything and let the problem solve itself?

Correct. Assuming you can identify the parts of the recipe that are core vs
non-core you would only count the non core points. If on the other hand you
really can't tell whats what then count the whole thing as non core. The
example used was lasgne which is a mixture of foods.

All breads/muffins are non core. We did just discover that cornmeal is CORE
so make some corn bread.

You might find it easier to follow than you thought. Remember you get to use
your normal 35 FP for stepping out of the core list. This might just be
enough points to keep you happy yet not enough to put all the junk back into
the routine.

I'm still having trouble getting the part of recipes that have non-core
foods in them. For example, there is a recipe on the WW site for corn and
shrimp cakes. The only non-core food on the ingredients list is 2 T flour.
The entire recipe is 2 Points per serving. Now, that how you would count it
if you were on the Flex Points Plan, but what about the Core Foods Plan? Do
you have to count the whole 2 Points, or just for the flour? In which case,
it hardly seems worth it to count 2 T of flour divided over 8 servings.

Granted, this may not be the best example, but I enjoy putting together
recipes and I want to understand what my guidelines are.
