WHOA 0 point bread?!?
 

Obviously, I'm doing something wrong here. i ran over to the store and picked up some Nature's Own Double Fiber Wheat Bread:

Calories 50 for 1 slice
Fat .5
Fiber 5

How is that possible? Obviously, for 2 slices it would be more

You're not doing anything wrong. The fiber content brings the points down to 0 for one slice. However, if you eat a second, it becomes 1 point for both. Same thing with WW brand bread. Fiber One cereal is similar in that for a 1/2 cup it's 0 points due to the fiber, but if you eat more it starts counting as 1.

There is a buffer built into the plan to offset your inclusion of 0 point foods and vegetables. :)

yeah but still ONE POINT FOR TWO PIECES!! :carrot: :carrot: :carrot: :carrot: :carrot:

so exciting. i also just found a salad a panera for 3 points (strawberry poppyseed)

i need to get back on track. i've been naughty. :^: i stumbled upon the ZERO POINT BREAD :carrot: while buying peanut butter and jelly. oopies!

Yeah, I only get the 1 point for 2 slices bread now, whether it's the Nature's Own, the WW, the Pepperidge Farm Light... there are a couple brands that work out that way. I love it, it makes it easier to justify the peanut butter points necessary for a pb&j sandwich :)

I've got to say that I like the Arnold Double Fiber bread because it is THICK. 1 point for 1 slice, but if you eat 2 slices it will cost you 3.5 points. I usually just have one... yum!!!

I totally understand your excitement! I ran across Village Hearth bread and it is also 1 pt for 2 slices! Being a former bread eater at every meal with lots of butter... ahem, I was really missing the bread. Now I don't feel so deprived!

Yes those carbs are yummy, but can get me into trouble, all about moderation, but it is nice to have a wrap or a slice or two of toast, and have some good tasting options, and low pts options.

Like today I went to the store, craving a bagel, a real bagel, so I bought just one, and it did not thrill me, so I just tossed it out after just one tiny bite. If I was going to spend the pts, I wanted to make sure it was worth losing them. The old me would of say this is the worst bagel, as I was finishing up the last morsel. Just wanted to share,

I too love the WW Nature's Own bread since I love sandwiches. Take after my Daddy. I am learning to eat them with mustard for 0 pts (sometimes I don't eat it plain) and 1 slice of 98% FF ham 1pt for a 2pt sandwich isn't bad. Once in a while I put a slice of 1 or 2 pt cheese on it. Having been a lowcarber for years who really missed my sandwiches this is great now that I do WW. This also works with Whole Wheat Flatwraps that are 1 pt for a quick snack. I love WW Flex.

If 1 slice is 1 point why would 2 slices be 3.5 pts.? Also, since the 0 veg. are 0 points, can we load up on as much of those as we want?

BTW, I am new to this.

Hi Tracey,

Welcome to Weight Watchers! :)

Sometime when you double a portion, the calories and/or fat numbers increase just enough to throw it into a points range that more than doubles. There is a fiber cap at 4, which makes a lot of difference, too. Zero point veggies are always 0 points. Eat all you like.

Zero points bread, jello, frozen treats, etc. however, must be counted as one point after 3 servings a day. (If this has changed, someone please correct me. I do WW at home.)

If you like that bread, try the Healthy Life whole wheat... 35 calories/slice .25 grams of fat and 3 grams of fiber :)

I'm also a fan of the Arnold Double Fiber bread. I feel like it fills me up more. As far as wraps go I've been eating Mission Tortilla Carb Balance. (At least, I think that's what they're called.) One tortilla is about 200 calories 4.5 grams of fat, and 21 grams of fiber. They're 4 points, but completely worth it. With that much fiber I feel full for a long long time.

Naytally, I absolutely love your avatar! lol

Haha everyone seems to love it :)

I have a question about point counting for 2 slices of bread. I understand what Jane posted (that the fiber points make a difference) BUT... if I eat one slice of bread at breakfast, it's 1 point. If I eat one slice of bread at lunch, it's 1 point. Two points for the two slices.

What are the rules for counting multiple servings? Do most of you count the whole meal? If it's a recipe -- macaroni and cheese -- is counted as one dish, but if you have a chicken breast, 2 vegetables, 1/2 cup of rice, each item is counted separately, is it not?

I don't mean I want to play games with the plan :) but just have an idea what people are doing. (And apologies if this should have been its own thread. I haven't been around here much and don't know the rules :) )
