Is jasmine rice that high? I always count one cup cooked as 4 points.

It might be what's added to the rice. She mentioned coconut milk.

Good point. I do remember when I started WW online most of their point calculations for rice seemed really high and I think they had it as uncooked, I was so worried at first, I love rice!

I love the recipie I have for chicken fried rice in my WW cook book.

Last night I didn't feel much like cooking, I had frozen vegetable lasanga, a slice of texas toast and a greek salad with olive oil and balsamic vinegar - total points 14.

I made a chicken taco rice last night. I wanted something mexican but not all the fat.


I used white rice instead of brown...the brown is OK...but for something like this I wanted white rice. I had left over peas and corn and grilled chicken. I mixed those together with taco seasoning, some 2% milk mexican cheese and and topped it with a little bit of low fat sour cream. It was really good. Probably about 8pts per serving.

the jasmine rice i use is 1/4 cup uncooked=3 points
i thought it doubled in size after cooking, so that would make 1/2 a cup and i wanted 1 cup cooked so i counted 2 servings for 6 pts total. looking into it just now i found that 1/4c uncooked is equal to 3/4 cup cooked. :dizzy: but i always measure out my 1cup loose rice in a measuring cup so i am actually under pts a bit. confusing sometimes!

dinner tonight was chicken soup. i baked 3 chicken drumsticks for me in the oven (hubby wanted his boiled in the soup) and took the skin off and pulled the pieces off the bone. added 2 medium potatoes for me, celery, carrots and chicken broth. my husband made his own hot sauce too which was super good. hoping i weigh 178 ish tomorrow...i was 179.0 today. :)

Small vegan burrito on tomato tortilla for me tonight. (black beans, spanish rice, guac, pico, and lettuce)
Yummy in my tummy. :)

Yes it is! I estimated my points last night for dinner - I'd say 10ish. We had Pot Roast with fermented black beans and carrots and smashed potatoes (nothing added to them at all, still delish). It was another recipe from Ming Tsai's cookbook, I'm obsessed. :D

Last night I poached chicken breasts, (for the first time!) shredded them and make a quesadilla with chicken, refried beans and cheese. I served it with gucamole, sour cream and rooster sauce (Sriracha). Total points 10.5.

jelma what's a poached chicken breast?
last night we had what we call pork chop bake. you take 4 medium yellow potatoes (this is for 2 servings. hubby is also on ww) wash them and cut them however you like. boil them until soft. put 4 2oz boneless pork chops into casserole dish, when potatoes are done add on top of pork chops, then over top pour this mixture in-
1 cup mushroom soup-make sure it's low fat. the one i used yesterday was 2grams but have seen some with 10grams per serving! one packet of onion soup mix and 2-3 tbs of water-just mix it all together.
shred some cheddar cheese on top-just an oz or so. it's really really good. and cheap too!
cook on 350 degrees for 15-17 minutes-you're just cooking the pork.

Poaching is just a way of cooking chicken, it is like boiling. I put 3 chicken breast in a large frying pan with deep straight sides, covered completely with water and brought to a boil. I then lowered the heat to a simmer for about 3 minutes and then turned off heat, covered, and let sit in the water for about 20 mintues. I think next time it needs to simmer longer, I was a little paranoid about it not being cooked all the way so I let it sit for awhile longer than 20 minutes, maybe 30 or 35. Then you just shred it. 3 chicken breasts makes alot of shredded chicken!

Tonight was pretty hectic! I was working the Trauma Unit in the ER and was on my feet all day. I managed to have some Kashi Cereal, carton of Skim Milk, and a yogurt.

Subway, was out shopping with my youngest, 6inch turkey on brown, no cheese, lots of veggies and low fat mayo. 5 points :)
