I'm new to this board and have been on WW since 8/1. While I'm doing really well - 7 pounds so far - I'm afraid I'm cheating myself when I figure recipes. I've searched and read many threads on this forum and I still don't understand how to do it and I'm usually not math impaired. What I normally do is figure out the points from the food label for each ingredient since that is for one serving. I do that for all my ingredients and then add those points together for the overall points for the whole recipe. Is this even close to being right??? Tonight I made spaghetti with meat sauce and the nutrition info is as follows:
Spaghetti -- 8 servings in box:
200 calories
4 grams fiber
1 gram fat
Ground Beef (I use Laura's Lean Beef because it's 96% lean) -- 4 servings in pkg:
140 calories
0 grams fiber
4.5 grams fat
Prego Spaghetti sauce -- 6 servings in jar:
100 calories
3 grams fiber
1 gram fat
My way of figuring gave me 9 points. I figured it out another way I saw on this board and got 6 points. Can someone please explain this s-l-o-w-l-y for me
????? Thanks so much
