Pro Points LouiseMc Food Diary

[chug]

Hi LouiseMc

Welcome to the site. I thought as you was following me I would follow you to. As for working the points for 2 of an item you don't just multiply the points for one item by 2 you have to multiply the protein by 2, carbonhydrates by 2, Fat by 2 and Fibre by 2 and then put the totals in your calculator if you don't have one let me know as I have a good online calculator.

I didn't realise this until someone told me so I thought I'd pass the advice on.

 

[LouiseMc]

so i have to double every thing and then times it by 2? x

 

[chug]

No sorry you just have to times the protein, carbohydrates, fat & fibre by the quantity you want for example if you want 2 slices of bread times them all by 2 if you want three slices of bread time everything by 3 hope that makes sense.

 

[LouiseMc]

Yes thanks x

 

[LouiseMc]

I just type all the protien ect in then times it by 2 seems to work easier x

Hiya, how you finding it now. Its hard to get your head around at the start isn't it?!! A few weeks in and you'll be flying.

Do you have the ww calculator? If you do you are right about just timesing it by 2 or 3 or whatever. Couldn't be without my calculator, I carry it everywhere!

If you've any questions don't be afraid to ask xx

We were talking about ww meals on another thread. I used to have the odd one but bulked them out with loads of vegetables. I was saying you could have a chicken fillet, 200g spuds, gravy and vegetables for the same pp value and be stuffed for a few hours, were as with the meals you'd be hungry shortly after. They are packed with sugars and salts and all sorts too. I know they are handy and cheap though.

How you getting on today?
