Default How many calories in a point?

I'm just wondering if anyone has any idea of how many calories are in one point?

Just curious

Because it is based on calories, dietary fiber and fat, you can not go exactly by calories but a good estimates in 1 point per 50 calories. If you look at a 100 calorie pack, even if it has no fiber it will be 2 points if it does not have more than 6 grams of fat. Like I said it is not exact but a good extimate if you don't have a listing or a slide to calculate

Hope this helps!

Well actually a point can be as low as 25 calories and as high as 110 calories because they aren't based on calories alone.

As was previously stated, point values are based on a combination of calories, fat and fiber. For example, Campbells' Chicken Soup in Hand is 80 calories, with 2 g. fat and 2 g. fiber - and it comes out as 1 point. Your best bet is to use your tracker.
