Default Chocolate Confusion :?:

Can Anyone help me I'm confused over how many pts are in
chocolate...I have just started the W.W. plan (again ) and i have 2 old plans...the 123 success plan and the old freedom plan.
In the freedom plan 2 pcs of choc, half a candy bar or 2 tbsp of choc chips (1oz) is 150 cals..in the 123 success plan,2pcs of choc, half a candy bar, or 2 tbsp of choc chips (1oz) = 3pts. Last night i was a and ate 12 pcs of orange chocolate so is that ( 12 X 75 cals = 900cals ) or ( 12 X 1.5pts = 18pts ) or seeing as 1oz of choc chips is 3pts and i weighed the choc and it weighs 2ozs...is it 6pts 18pts seems a bit much to me I seem to remember a flake or mars bar being about 6pts..help please

Hmmm..i've just been browsing the W.W. ca site and it say's that 1oz of chocolate is 4 points..so i guess i'll take that..8pts is better than 18pts

Cathy, definitely go for the eight points as that sounds about right to me, cos I know like a hershey bar is six. No way should it ever be 18!!! LOL! If you send me the reading of fat grams, calories and fibre I'll use my point finder for you to be sure.

I wonder why we don't have fibre on our points calculators in the UK. There is obviously a very different system going on over the pond.
Actually I am much better with the calorie counting dont tell the ww leader!!

LOL, TQ, I don't think I could do the calorie count thing, I love the point calculator, I've nver been much of a mathematician (sp)? SO counting calories gets difficult past 100

Chris..thanks for the offer i've got a pts finder..the problem is hardly anything you buy over here as a nutrition label on it it would be much easier in England...i alway's used to check labels over there..anyway i think they passed a law here a while ago to change all that..i think everything has to have the nutritional values on the label within 2 years.
