    Oh hey Nancy - sorry about that, basically w. core, anything that is SugarFree+FatFree (SF/FF),not processed or a whole grain, is Core (you dont count pts) & anything that is non-core (processed, etc.) you count the pts. At the end of the day, whatever pts are left over (earned less eaten) = R (remaining) (my short form) & if you're over your pts for the day, you can take them from your 35pts weekly allowance
