Hi! I'm a newbie here..sort of. I've been a lurker for a while but this is my first post.
I haven't officially joined weight watchers, but I am trying to follow their points system. I believe I am supposed to have 22 points a day based on initial weight of 157. I have been counting points since the beginning of the year and have lost 7 pounds to date.
However, I am not sure if I am counting points correctly. I know what the formula is, but after I get the final number I am not sure if you round up or down.
Can I give an example?
For instance, I really like Quaker low sugar apples/cinn instant oatmeal for breakfast. The box says 1 packet has 110 calories, 3g dietary fiber, and 1.5g total fat. Using the above formula I come up with 1.725. Do I round up for 2 points?
Also, I like to eat 2 at a time so that it sticks with me. So do I add 1.725+1.725 for a total of 3.450 and then round that down to 3 points because it is under 3.5?
Or do I round the 1.725 up to 2 for each packet and have a total of 4 points?
Help! I am confused and don't know what I am doing.
I'd apreciate any help on this! Thanks!
