Hi all. I have a question I hope you can help me with. I am doing weightwatchers flex points but I am not sure how to calculate the following:

If I have a single serving of a whole grain Sandwich Pocket (80 Cal, 1g fat, 4g fiber)this equals 1 point. Now lets say I have two pockets? Is it two points? Or do I double the calories and the fat (160 cal, 2g fat and 4g fiber) which would make it 3 points. Also, if an item was 2g fiber, and if I had two items, would I double the fiber to be 4g since I am eating two? Please help!!

I think it's a matter of choice, really. I always double the calorie info, etc and calculate that way. I don't know if it's right - it's just the way I do it.

Very good question! I think I will bring it up at my meeting next Tuesay and see what the meeting leader has to say about it. I'll be interested in reading the other replies you get.

I just double the points.

The point is to be consistent with the way you do it each and every time.

W/W prefers you to double the cal/fat/fiber and then figure points when you eat more than 1 serving AT THE SAME TIME.

Personally I have tried just for an experimental purpose done it both ways on the same days (several times) and come within 1 point each way.

I always just doubled the points but my leader said you really should double all the calories/fiber/fat then calculate points to be accurate. Sometimes it does add an extra point

And sometimes it takes a point off!

I asked that very same question at a meeting not too long ago and I was told that you should figure it up both ways and the one that is highest is the one that you should use... not the answer I was looking for but that is what the leader said.

I however just figure it up by portion and take it from there.
