does it matter what you use your points on

[jamhulio]

just wondering if it matters what you use your points on because i been eating very low point meals and using lot of points for low point crisps and snacks

Obviously WW promotes a healthy diet, recommending you consume 5 portions of fruit & veg, 2/3 dairy, 8 glasses of water a day etc. As long as you stick within your poins and the weight is coming off what you choose to spend your Points on is down to individual choice.
I used to live in Shields too

i eat salad or veg with my tea anyway so that shoudl take care of the healthy bits, i just tend to have 2 or 3 bags of space raiders crisps in one day and quite a bit of ww bread. where do you live now?

I have a really unhealthy attitude to snacking points, too. I tend to count 2.5 for breakfast, 3 for lunch & 5 for dinner, so that I can have 8 for snacks. And sometimes I even have a snack instead of a meal (I can't always squeeze in 3 meals, as well as snacks). I have really low point snacks, too, so that basically, I am snacking all day long. But I find that's when I lose the most, provided I don't go over my points... oh, and the dairy is very important - any excuse for those mini milk lollies hehe.

(I'm from Durham, originally, too - living in Bristol at the moment though, a drastic change to the good ol' North East.)

No i dont think it does, to be honest regular snacking keeps the metabolism working at a constant level and avoids highs and crashes which make you pig out.

I will always have points kept aside for snacking i think as long as you are sticking to your points you are fine but i would try and incorporate some healthy snacks just for the nutritional goodness

K... don't hate me now but our leader said we should try not use up more than 14 points a week on junk food / alcohol as it would mean we are not eating the recommended amounts from the other food groups...
(saying that though - I'm a snacker too!!!)
