Guest guest Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 Hello, The shoulder roast is 165 calories and 7 grams fat (4 points) for a 3 oz cooked portion. HTH. Charlie How many points? Can anyone give me an idea of how many points to cound for my roast beef? It is a shoulder roast that I cook in the crock pot with 2 pkgs. beef stew seasoning mix and water. I add lots of baby carrots and red potatoes. I usually only eat one small red potato, lots of the carrots and sometimes 4-6 oz. of the meat. I don't have a clue how many points to count this for. I counted it as 15 this morning, but didn't know if that was too many or too less. Any help? Thanks! Rhonda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 Hi, As a " general " rule, and to be on the safe side of points counting, I calculate 1.5 points per 1 ounce of beef -- any beef EXCEPT for the highest-fat kind, such as prime rib. That's not even affordable on Flex! Bette in CA OP since 6/1/03 278/169/175 or maybe 160??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 Thanks all who replied to my roast beef question! Now let me ask another! ) My mother just started WW on her own. She told me she found a bread from Natures Own Health Line Double Fiber that has 0 points per slice! She gave me the info over the phone and I rechecked on my points finder and sure enough it had 0 points! But I still have a fear of eating bread! Have any of you found that your weight loss slowed when you ate bread, even if you stayed within your points? Rhonda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 I buy it. It has a purple label. It is 0 points for 1 slice BUT 1 pt for 2 slices. > Thanks all who replied to my roast beef question! > > Now let me ask another! ) > My mother just started WW on her own.

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 Okay, color me dumb, but why would 2 slices be 1 point if 1 slice is o points? I hope I haven't been countin everything wrong! eek! Rhonda I buy it. It has a purple label.

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 It's a matter of how many total calories, fat and fiber are in the serving you consume at a sitting. 1 slice can equal 0 points, 2 slices could be 1 point and 3 slices could be 2 or more points. WW counts anything below .5 as zero and anything .6 to 1.4 as 1. Charlie I'm sure others will explain more clearly Re: How many points?

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 You have to take into consideration quanity. For instance: take a tub of fat free cool whip, 2 tbsps is 15 calories, 0 fat and 0 fiber which equals 0 points. But say you eat the whole tub which contains 38 servings, the stats would change to 570 calories, 0 fat & 0 fiber which is 11points. My WW leader puts it this way - Zero plus zero doesn't always equal zero. Quanity counts.

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 For one slice it is 40c 1g fat and 5g fiber. Charlie RE: How many points? I'd love to know the nutrition breakdown of this bread! Calories, fat and fiber? My guess is that one slice is actually just under a half point, and they're counting it as zero. Just a guess, but the nutritional info will tell the tale. Thanks, Bette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 Charlie, Thanks for that info. I have a points calculator that calculates to the tenth of a point. It says that 40,4 (the fiber max) and 1 equals 1/10th of a point. If you calculate it using 5g of fiber it says zero points! That's an amazing bread. If I were eating this bread, I'd count two slices as a half point. Just to err on the high side, if I were to err at all! Interesting!

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 what does your calculator say for 80 cal. 2 grams fat and 10 grams fiber? RE: How many points? Charlie, Thanks for that info.

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 what does your calculator say for 80 cal. 2 grams fat and 10 grams fiber? It says zero points. But you aren't supposed to count 10 grams of fiber! Four is the max. If you calculate 80,2,4 it comes out to 1 point -- for whatever it is!!

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 Hi everyone, I am in New York and can't seem to find this bread anywhere. Does anyone know where I might find it?

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 I am not sure if anyone else knows this, but you can do the calculations without a points calculator. There is a formula that is... [grams of fat x 4] - [grams of fiber (max 4) x 10] add to calories (or subtract if you get a negative number) then divide by 50 So if you are eating the 2 slices it would be like this... 2 g fat x 4 = 8 4 g fiber (max) x 10 = 40 subtract -36 notice this is a negative no. 80 calories - 36 = 44 divide by 50 50 44/50 is almost 1 Hope this is helpful to some of you.

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 Rhonda, This is exactly what I have found to be true for me. Bread slows me down a lot when I eat it. This week I am staying away from bread. It really isn;t that hard to do as long as I can be creative about what I eat. But yes, bread is a culprit for me no matter how little points it has.
