Weight Loss Forum / WeightWatchers / November 2004Zero Point Foods
Hi everyone, I was making up some chili beans yesterday, (basically can of beans, two cans tomatoes, two cups diced veg & some water & spice), which i usually would only count as 4 points, which would be for the beans. I usually use fresh veg so hadn't thought about it, but according to the info on the bag of diced veg & the cans of tomatoes, those veg would actually count for 2 points, even though they are "zero point" foods. Do people usually add this count in, or are the points for "zero" foods just ignored? eggs. Zero point foods are zero points for a serving but if you have multiple servings then you should be counting them accordingly. Some people say to add 1 point for every 3 servings of zero point foods. > Hi everyone, > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > eggs.

I am so glad this question was asked and answered... so plainly. This does change my points on my veggie soup I thot zero points. One more way of yeilding to the meal plan. Thank you. before you decide, list all of the numbers, add them up and divide by the number of servings, see if that keeps it zero or maybe 1 point, Lee > I am so glad this question was asked and answered... so plainly.

Since you are probably only having a cup at a sitting, the veggie soup if made without potatoes should still be zero points due to all of the fiber you are getting. If you are eating more than a cup at a time then I would count it as 1 point for the second cup to be sure. > I am so glad this question was asked and answered... so plainly.

I can each of beans, rinsed ( pinto, navy, butterbean, black bean, kidney bean, sometimes blackeyed peas) 1 can diced tomatoes w/ juice 2-3 large onions 2 cloves garlic 2 small cans tomato sauce black pepper water to cover all in crockpot. I usually eat one soup cup as serving for dinner & supper. No crackers but 1 slice whole wheat bread with lite butter. Oooops... margarine & 6 oz. skim milk. Makes a very comfortable meal with a lasting curb to the 'hungries'. I write all of it down and figure out the portions and point it based on a portion, Lee > Hi everyone, > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > eggs. |
