1 point of strawberries: sliced or whole? - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

I don't do meetings, so I can't ask there. Is the one cup of strawberries that = 1 pt a cup of whole berries, or slices? I can fit a lot more slices in a cup than whole berries, and I want to make sure I count it right. Thanks!

StraitLover - according to my WW book, 1 and a half cups of fresh strawberries = 1 pt, and in the Brand Name section of the book, Schwan's Strawberries, frozen, 1 and 1/4 cups, is ZERO points. Strawberries are one of my mainstays - they are a real "point bargain"! I think you can pack that cup any way you want, and consider it 1 point.

Hey, I've been shortchanging myself!

I looked it up on the USDA Nutritional Reference website, and saw there that sliced or whole are about the same, so I will go for sliced

.

Thanks!
