Buddies, if you can help me out I would be most appreciative.

I need the UK (United Kingdom) Formula for figuring points.

I know the US formula, it's been posted many times, but the UK formula uses ONLY calories and SATURATED fat (not total fat).

If anyone could answer with the formula, I would be most appreciative. Thank you in advance!

HI Joycelyn,
I have no idea how they get the points values that we use in the UK, but do you need the formula for the new daily points allowance in the new full choice programme? If so I can PM you, if its just the food points, then sorry, I can't help. I always use my calculator to work it out.
Hope you get sorted.

I believe the formula for UK points is:

calories/70 + saturated fat grams/4 = points

If saturated fat is not listed separately from total fat , then you use half of total fat grams as your saturated fat value.

Hi Jocelyn!!

I sure hope you get this! I emailed you a couple of days ago, but don't know if you received my email. Sometime back you said you would be happy to give information out about the "calorie points system" booklet you could get, how and where from. I know what you are talking about (1 calorie point = 75 calories), and I would love to obtain this booklet you have on it. I have searched in vain, and nobody else seems to know about this "wonderful simple of way of keeping track of your calories".
You are the only person I know of that knows about it.

Please email me back to discuss, okay?
Thanks a whole lot!

Sincerely,
Sonja
