Let's See...

So I figured up my points, adding them up so that I have the most points possible (e.g. 2 C. soup counted as 2 C. instead of two 1 C. servings) and here's where I currently stand for today...

Breakfast = 3.6
Lunch = 1.6
Snack = 1.5
Dinner = 9.3

That puts me at 16 points for the day. As for calories and all that jazz, I am currently at 949 calories, 11 g. fat, and 26 g. fiber. That includes dinner AND dessert with friends. I guess it can indeed be done.

So tonight's challenge is... to find a snack that is equal to about 250-300 calories and 3 or fewer points. Game on.

UPDATED: 3/4 of a Healthy Choice Fudge Bar is .8 points. Add that to 2.2 points for a cup of hot chocolate wtih 1 T. fiber powder and you've got a day that finishes at 19 points and 1165 calories. And I'm okay with that.

Welcome to making ww work for you. I do not do the 10ths of points - don't know how. Everything is a whole point, which I think means I always round up. Where did you get information about getting down to tenths of points? I've seen others do that, but they did not have that when I was an official member of ww.

Pretty much all of the online points calculators I found give results that are in decimals AND rounded. Here's one that I used:

I prefer the decimals, I think. It's more work, and it means you actually have to count those "0" point foods (because they are really just .4 or lower) but I think it's more accurate.
