ok, I have another question. My food companion lists coconut (shredded), as 0 pts for 1 tsp but I want to cook with it and need to know how many points is 1/2 cup? The package it came in is long gone, I have it stored in tupperware. Anyone out there with a package that can check the points for me? Thank you!

Call the WW 800 number (651-6000) and they'll tell you all you need to know. this is the problem w/ the food companions -- they list certain foods in tiny amounts as zero, but as you use them in quantity they add up (like in the old food book, sugar was zero at 1 tsp. but is 1 point at a tablespoon...

According to the front section of the Supermarket Guide (the general listing), coconut (packaged and shredded) is 8 points for 1 cup.

1/2 cup of shredded coconut meat = 141.6 calories/13.4 fat grams/6.1 carbohydrate grams/3.6 fiber grams

Thanks to all of your for the responses! Looks like the coconut cream pie i'm thinking of making won't be too high in points afterall! (its only pudding made w/non fat milk w/coconut added and put into a low fat graham crust, served w/lite cool whip.)
