Hi Nicola

Are you talking about points from 3 or so years ago on the discover plan? If so, pro points is a totally different system & points are worked out according to protein, total carb, total fat & fibre content, not calories & sat fat like the old days...

The absolute minimum you are on is 26pp a day and you can't carry points over like on the old plan, this is because there is now a weekly allowance of 49pp.

You can still stick to the old plan, many do, or switch to pp, but it'll probably mean going to a few meetings/joining online.

If this isn't what you meant then I have no idea either!
