- I have been using WW calculator (fractional) and desktop...

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I have the MC with Betty Crocker, too. For some reason, even though I followed directions and added ingredients to the list (including nutritional info), the data for those ingredients aren't coming up when I ask for info of my recipes!

As a result, I had to do calcs for WW points by hand - using a WW calculator that gives fractional points, plus a regular calculator for adding and multiplying ingredients...here's an example and the results I got when I re-calculated:

Betty Crocker Super Moist Devil's Food Cake Mix:

1/12 = cal 170 / fat 2.5 grams / fiber 1 gram = 5.28 points per 1/12 of mix

Therefore, 5.28 X 12 = whole box of mix's points = 63.36 points

15 oz can of Libby's Pumpkin:

1/2 cup = 1 serving (3 1/2 servings in can)

serving = cal 40 / fat 1.5 grams / fiber 5 grams = .125 points per 1/2 cup

3 1/2 cups = 1/2 X 7 = .125 X 7 = .875 points = .88 points per whole can

Hershey's Cinnamon or Reese's Peanut Butter flavored chips

(both have identical nutritional info used for WW points)

1/2 cup = 8 tablespoons

1 tablespoon = cal 80 / fat 4 grams / fiber 0 = 1.93 points per Tablespoon

1.93 X 8 = 15.44 points per 1/2 cup of either flavor of above chips

Recipe:

1 box BC Super Moist Devil's Food Cake Mix = 63.36 points

15 oz can of Libby's pumpkin = .88 points

1/2 cup of either Hershey's cinnamon or Reese's pb chips = 15.44 points

1/2 cup water = 0 points

63.36

00.88

15.44

79.68 points for entire recipe with all ingredients...

79.68 divided by 12 (for 12 servings) = 6.64 points each

Thus, 79.68 divided by 24 (for 24 muffins) = 3.32 points each

If this is incorrect, I need to know where I am goofing? *blush*

Thanks for your endless patience and help!!!!!!
