Default Broccoli points?
I have two different e-files with points values....

one lists broccoli as 2 points per every 3 tablespoons (??)

the other lists broccoli as 0 points.

I'm talking about plain, steamed broccoli.

Please tell me that the ZERO points list is right... I love broccoli!

zero point veggies like broccoli are always zero points as long as you don't add any point value item to them such as oil. W/W built into their program 200-250 calories a day for these zero point items so eat and enjoy.

5 cups of broccoli flowerets are only 99 calories, 1 fat, 10 fiber and even using the cal/fat/fiber to get points that would be 1 point for 5 cups (this is from Mastercook) [even USDA website shows 99 cal/1 fat/18 fiber] however like I stated W/W allows for the zero point veggies so don't worry about them and enjoy them.

Keep in mind too that no one ever joined Weight Watchers because they ate too many veggies!
