Default Smart Bran cereal

I really like this cereal: Nature's Path Smart Bran. I typically eat 1/2 cup, although the serving size on the nutrition information is 2/3 cup. When I was counting calories I just did the math. But according to the point system, a 2/3 cup serving is 1 point, and 1/2 cup is 0 points.

I don't want to eat more (2/3 cup) just to make sure I'm keeping accurate count and not "gaming the system" with zero point foods, but I'm conflicted. Eating 60 calories of cereal several times a week could make a difference.

Suggestions? Or, am I being too particular? I'm kind of new.

If you only eat a half cup, and the points come out to zero, it's okay. Weight watchers is designed to let you have free foods. Enjoy it!
