    Question Pre-packed Veg Panic! Pro-points help needed!

    Hey everyone,

    So I wanted to check something with you all - I've been buying those prepacked veg packs from Tesco which you can just micro and it steams them, with broccoli, cauliflower and carrots. Now these veg are all 0pp when I track them, but if I check using the nutritional info on the bags they say 3pp :-O

    That can't be right, surely? Should I just stick with keeping them as 0pp as they're veg? I'll be in trouble if I can't as I love just adding to my meals with these (I get home late from work so having them pre-prepared is an absolute life saver for me)

    Any help would be greatly appreciated! x

    Be careful not to overdo the veg part- eventually all the calories will mount up and you could trip up. Taken at normal portions with a meal should be OK.
