Question about 0 point items
 

This may be a stupid question....if something is 0 points, and you double the serving, is it still 0 points, or would it be more.

For example, I use the Nature's Own Double Fiber bread, for 1 slice it is 0 points, well, I ate a sandwich for lunch, so I used 2 slices. If I use my calculator and double each thing (cal, fat, fiber), it comes up to one point, BUT, I keep thinking, if I ate one piece now, and a piece an hour from now, it would be 0 points both times, right?

So anyway, would you count that as 0 points, or 1 point?

If you ate them both at the same time count them as 1 but if you eat each at different meals then you can count it as 0 :)

Thank you! That's pretty much what I was thinking, but wanted to be sure!

This is a great example of how we can game the WW program. Boiled down, WW is just a simplified way of counting calories and fat while encouraging fiber.

You can count 2 slices eaten in the same day as 0 points, but try to be aware of how often you do this (and this goes for all 0 points foods). Too many 0 point servings can start to add up to several extra points a day.

I blame "gaming the system" for some of my past plateaus and i'm trying really hard this time to be aware of how much my 0 point foods add up.

When I doubt, I always round up, but that's just me. Maybe try keeping track of how many zero point foods you are eating in a day too, and see if there might be some "hidden" points in the foods you're eating. As long as you're tracking everything you eat, you should be able to go through the week and see the zero points items vs. your weight loss.

Good luck! Zero point foods are the best!!
