Has anyone ever tried to figure out how to convert food into points using the nutrition label? I found a formula at
www.lasternet.com
but couldn't really figure it out.

The formula is very simple and there are a few variations out there but this is the patented one:
([calories/50] + [fat grams/12] - [fiber grams<capped at 4 grams for Winning Points>/5] = points)
For example take something that is 200 cal/12 fat grams/5 fiber grams and do this
200 / 50 = 4
12 / 12 = 1
4 / 5 = .8
4+1-.8 = 4.2 or 4 points

Rice Cakes, 2 or 1 point?
Working a muscle to the fatigue point...
What is the difference b/w flex points and the older point system?
Anyone else out there in the lowest point range and having trouble not going over?
