Guest guest Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 There is always a big debate about this question. Personally, I don't count any plain zero point veggie as points. I figure I didn't get fat on veggies. Maureen 0 Point Foods I was wondering if the o point foods you can only eat once a day? Can I have a cup of tomatoes for lunch and then a cup for dinner or would there be points to count for the dinner portion?

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 My WW leader suggests eating up to 5 zero pt. food servings a day and then starting to count points after that. That might have changed w/ the Flexpoints plan, but I haven't heard anything different. 175/157.8/130 0 Point Foods > I was wondering if the o point foods you can only eat once a day? > Can I have a cup of tomatoes for lunch and then a cup for dinner > or > would there be points to count for the dinner portion? > > Thanks, > Jill > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 In my WW book it suggests that if you hit a point that you aren't losing weight anymore. a plateau, then one of the things you should evaluate in your diet is how many 0 point foods you are eating. If you are having more than 5 per day, that could be part of the problem with the plateau. If you have a cup of carrots for a snack, and then a cup for dinner, and you put both on the WW online, it will count the second cup as 1 point or 1/2 point, if I remember correctly. It does add up, and since part of the process of losing weight is reducing the amount of food we eat, this could be a " point " to beware of.

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2004 Report Share Posted July 10, 2004 I have to agree with the other posts, I usually don't count my zero point veggies unless I'm eating so much of them that I should (like three cans of green beans or something like that which I never do). Otherwise, I just use them as free. Things other than veggies that are zero points, I make sure and count if I eat enough to be at least half a point.
