From: Plissken on 18 Oct 2006 17:53 I just had lunch with my kids and DH at a Vietnamese Restaurant today (Pho Hoa chain). I have NO idea how many points my lunch is! I ordered the healthiest looking thing on the menu: grilled chicken, vermicelli (sp?), and lots of raw veggies (sprouts, cucumber, lettuce, cilantro). I made sure to leave some and not stuff myself silly. What do I do about counting points? Next time I'll make sure to go to a restaurant that I know I can find point values for.
From: Willow Herself on 18 Oct 2006 18:03 Raw veggies without sauce are mostly 0 pts... Vermicelli, I have no clues, might be a few pts cause there's oil in that and maybe some coconut milk... somebody here might know.. I don't eat that stuff.. Grilled chicken in vietnamese places should be fairly low.. a little oil and stuff.. I would add about 1 pts per 3 oz... for the "stuff" Key is.. make an educated guess, and keep good the rest of the week! ;o) Will~ "Plissken" <plissken(a)notmyrealemail.com> wrote in message news:GnxZg.157208$5R2.144161(a)pd7urf3no... >I just had lunch with my kids and DH at a Vietnamese Restaurant today (Pho >Hoa chain).

From: Plissken on 18 Oct 2006 18:07 I'll be eating a lot of veggies for dinner tonight! My breakfast was only 3.5 points and I am going to the gym for an hour tonight. At least I didn't go somewhere and order a greasy burger and french fries :o) Willow Herself wrote: > Raw veggies without sauce are mostly 0 pts... > > Vermicelli, I have no clues, might be a few pts cause there's oil in that > and maybe some coconut milk... somebody here might know..

What I do in those cases is I make my best legimate educated guess, usually based off of a similar item. Do a search online for vermicelli too. Google's bound to have somebody somewhere that has posted calories, fat and fibre. Then add one point just for good measure (becauseit was at a restaurant). That's what I do anyway. :Bazooka-Joe |
