i remember reading somewhere that there was a calculation you can use to manually figure out how many points are in a food. it was something like cals x fat / fiber. Does anyone know this calculation?

The calculation is:

Calories + (Fat Grams x 4) - Fiber Grams x 10 divided by 50

for examples if a product has the following:

200 calories
2 grams fat
2 grams fiber

You would calculate like this:

200 + 8= 208
208 - 20 = 188
188 divided by 50 = 3.76 So this would be rounded up to 4 points

I hope this helps.

(calories / 50) + (fat grams / 12) - (fiber grams [capping at 4 grams for Winning Points] / 5) = points
