Thread: Sweet Potatoes - Raw Weight or Cooked Weight??

Hi all,

Quick question, when working out the Propoints in a sweet potato do I go by the raw weight or the cooked weight?

If anyone was wondering, I found out it is the raw weight you go by.

Always best to go by the raw weight of anything, as when cooked things tend to lose some of their water content...and hence a little bit of weight. Going by cooked weight you'd run the risk of not taking enough points for what you've eaten.

Wow, really? This is probably why Propoints has never worked for me before because i always take the weight once cooked.

I will take raw weights from now on, and see if that helps.

Thanks mate

So 50g raw is 1pp same as normal pots? X

Does anyone know if there's a way to calculate the points from the cooked ones as well? In the same way that pasta has an entry for cooked and uncooked? I always weigh before cooking but I then cook mine and my boyfriend's together so it would be good to be able to doublecheck the points rather than just estimate portions!
