S/C/G: 172.8/168/145 maybe?

Height: 5'2

Default Points help please

I made egg noodles no yolk.
I looked them up and it comes to 5 points.
I put in the calculations according to the bag and It also comes to 5 points.

Well here is my problem.

I ATE 4 ounces of cooked noodles.
Aren't I suppose to double what the NI is on the bag if it says it's for 2oz.

Is that 2oz on the bag cooked or raw?


I got 10 points. here is the info from the bag

Fat..5
Carbs 41
Protein 8
Fiber 3

I get 10 for this. can you help me or let me know this is the correct or wrong number to use for 4 oz of cooked stuff.

Did you cook and eat the entire bag? Does the bag say it is 2 servings? If so then I would double the nutritional info and then calculate the points?

it's a big bag lol. The bag is 12 oz.

I just poured some in hot water.
Measured out 4 oz cooked noodles and ate that.

I got 10 points for that. Or is it suppose to be 5? cause the bag says serving size 2 oz.

It's 10P+, but that is 4oz dry- 4oz dry would likely weight more cooked.....Hmmmmm I always weigh my pasta before I cook it! I would probably just count it as 10 and then be sure to measure before you cook it!

I weigh before measuring. If you ate 1/6 of the whole bag, that's 5.

Personally, I think you ate fewer than 5 points. Nutritiondata.com gives the info for cooked egg noodles -

4 oz cooked egg noodles equals
155 cals
2 g fat
5 g protein
28 g carbs
approx 1 g fiber

(FYI, their info for uncooked, 2 oz matches the info you gave for the bag NI)

Not sure what that works out to in points (not currently doing WW), but I think it's less than 2oz dry -

Edit: Oops - they don't have an entry specifically for NO YOLKS...the egg noodles they list are slightly higher fat and slightly lower fiber...however, I still think you're safe using the point calculation for 2 oz dry pasta - cooked pasta is much heavier than dry due to the absorption of water

I have a noodle update! I had WW Penne tonight- I weighed out 4 oz dry and then when it was cooked I re-weighed to split in 2 servings for hubby and me... anyway it was 9oz cooked.... I think if you eat 4oz of cooked noodles you likely had about 2 oz of dry noodles... Just my 2 cents! I am sure though you tracked and moved on by now... LOL :P

Aka cute. I've not moved on all the way cause, it seems it's still a toss up of 5 or 10 pp.

You see one said I was safe and one said it was ten.....

And it looks like you are saying it's 5 also .
My meeting is Monday and we will revisit this then. Lol.

Since there were 4 oz left overs, I ate that again today. I'll just ot track it and say, Oh we'll
