I recently bought several Lean Cuisine dinners and was happy to see that they are putting the WW point counts on the box. However I decided to check it for myself just to be sure and was surprised to find that on every one the point count was 1 too low. For example: Roasted Chicken with Mushrooms

Calories: 370 Dietary Fiber: 4 g Fat Grams: 5

I calculated it at 7 points but it is listed on the box at 6

Has anyone else noticed this? Thought I'd let you all know just in case you are using the points listed. 1 point may not seem like much but in the long run if you're eating them on regular basis it would make a difference. If for some reason I have figured it out wrong please let me know.

Because they are not licensed by W/W and they obtained the formula through the patent the are using the old 1-2-3 Success Formula with the fiber not being capped.

Even some of the Smart One boxes still have the old points listed.

Always double check

Thanks for your reply. The box does say WW Winning Points. I still can't figure out how they come up with 6 since there is only 1 additional gram of fiber over the capped amount.

Our WW leader warned us that Lean Cuisines were sometimes incorrectly marked--always check first.

Actually there are times that one gram of fiber would make that big of a difference.

They know that Winning Points is the current program so they list it as such.

Hey Kelly,

Are you a WW leader or have you just been doing it long enough to know lots. Do you have a secret weapon for finding all the points calculations such as web info. Any help would be appreciated since I'm pretty new at this. Thanks

I been doing this too long! LOL! I wanted to be a leader but I st my goal weight outside the W/W suggested range (with a slip from my doctor) so I cannot be a leader.

HEY! You go girl! You'll get there. I've noticed that you are always helping people out with good info. You really should be a leader. Thanks again for your help.
