GGGRRRR - I hate deceptive labels
I know you need to read labels very carefully but tonight I was in a hurry. I Had a meeting at 7 p.m. and I got home at 6:15. I had bought a bag of Shrimp Garlic Voila at the store. LOts of veggies, has the shrimp. Calories, fat and fiber didn't look way out line. I still had 8 points left and needed to get the rest of my milk and healthy oil in. So I fixed it (after I quickly pointed it out at 5 points including 1 tsp of healthy oil) fixed a serving size and figured I'd have my yogurt when I got home and be finished for the day within my point range. Tasted pretty good and seemed to be a decent size helping.
Got home after my meeting. Ate my yogurt. Added 1 tsp of canola oil to finish off my healthy oils for the day. WHip out my tracker and pull the bag over in front of me to write it all down and I find out that a serving is 2 cups FROZEN and 1 cup fixed!!!!! I ate 2 cups fixed. GGGGRRRRR - so now I'm 6 points over for the day. GGGGRRRRR
Now I don't mind being over some days but I do like to consciously do it and after I had a gain this week, I was trying very, very hard to be concise. I can't believe it fooled me like that
Anyone else had this happen to them?
