Are We Getting Enough Calories!!??

  • Ok I was thinking of how many calories were getting by how many points we eat, and I read somewhere that one point is roughly 50 calories...now I get 26 per day, which means I'm only getting 1300 calories??

    I know your not supposed to go below 1200/day but for people who only get 20 points they are only getting 1000 calories a day?

    Is this correct?? If not is there a way to figure out how many calories were getting per day?
  • You're not counting your flex points. You get 35 a week. I divide them up into 5 extra points a day. Don't worry about calories on ww anyway. Just follow the program. It works!
  • You are no where near correct in how many calories. You have to add the calories for the zero point foods you consume - veggies, ff cool whip, etc. Also the calories for the APs and FPs. I enter my daily in Mastercook and it gives me calories, fat, protein, carbs etc. I have 22 points and usually eat around 1500 calories and stay within that - and don't use APs and very few FPs.
  • 20 points = 1150 calories
    22 points = 1250 calories
    24 points = 1350 calories
    26 points = 1450 calories
    28 points = 1550 calories
    30 points = 1650 calories
    32 points = 1750 calories
    34 points = 1850 calories
    35 points = 1900 calories (Weekly Points Allowance)
    36 points = 2050 calories

    it DOES NOT include the 200-250 calories a day W/W built into the program for free veggies.
  • Thanks that makes alot more sense
