I just started weight watchers yesterday so im all new to this...
but I just had a sunday roast beef dinner and was a bit weary about the points... i didn't know how much to allow myself.. but i did weigh out the meat and potato i've worked it out to be around 14points in total and wondered if that seems about right?
it breaks down as follows:
180g plain mash - 3pp
60g silverskin beef - 3pp
carrot and swede mash 2tbsp - 1pp?
cabbage and sprouts - 0pp
gravy (home made from beef juice, veg water cornflour and browning sauce) 1-2 ladels - 5pp???????
1 tsp mint sauce - 1/2pp
1 tsp cranberry jelly - 1pp
I was a bit miffed on the gravy what with it being home made, it seems unmeasurable to me.. but i guessed with the beef juice it could be quite high, so I've guessed at 5pp.. does this seem too much or too little?
thanks
