Not a typical WW subject, I'm sure , but, this is the deal... I know we're making some taco type stuff for dinner. I can figure the points for the soft tortilla shells and the "taco" cheese... but I'm having a hard time figuring points for taco meat.


Can anyone help me figure out how much, say a 1/2 cup of meat would be? I don't think there's much difference between the regular and the lean... but if you know both that would help. Thanks!!!

weight it and if you are using 90% and leaner meat it is 1 point per ounce and if you are using 89% and fatter it is 2 points per ounce. Remember 1/2 cup of meat will not weigh 8 ounces as it is two different measurements. The taco seasoning has some calories but spread over the entire 'recipe' it is zero points.

what's really good, also, is morningstar's crumbled fake meat product. very good with tacos and such.

Thanks ladies... and I love your stats Kel!!! Weigh to go!!!

I buy the Old El Paso chicken taco mix - already mixed. 1/4 cup is 1 point! You find it in the meat dept with the bbqs that come in a small bucket.

So easy for lunch

tortilla 1pt
cheeese 1pt worth
chicken 1 pt
any tomatoes, onions.. whohooo...

you could even skip the cheese.

Enjoy your tacos!
