Trying to make point counting less time consuming
in [Weight Watchers]

From: Lori via WeightAdviser.com on 28 Sep 2005 18:22 Yesterday I had an idea to start making meal cards. I got me a recipe box and some index cards. I'm going to start writing down my meals with portion size, of everything that I had for that meal. And that why when I have that same meal again I can just look at the card and know how many points or calories it was. I have a tendency to eat the same foods with each other. I usually like rice with baked chicken, bake potatoe with a steak, and bran cereal with banana and Oj is my favorite breakfast. So anyway I'm going to try this and see if makes my counting points a little less time consuming. I also have my few restraunts that we like so I'll make some cards for them and that I'll know what I'm going to eat when I get there maybe that will make other things less tempting. Most of them has the nutrients facts on their web site if their a chain. Applebees and garfield's offer a lot of choses for WW. Does anyone else have any ideas to make watching our diets any easier or better? Lori -- Message posted via WeightAdviser.com http://www.weightadviser.com/Uwe/Forums.aspx/diet-weightwatchers/200509/1

From: Miss Violette on 29 Sep 2005 10:25 something else I thought of, many people figure out the points on canned/packaged items when they get home from shopping and write them on the packages as they are put away, then later you do not have to stop and figure it out, you just get the item and write it down, Lee Miss Violette <rgrass(a)consolidated.net> wrote in message news:3q1r72Fb78g8U3(a)individual.net... > I have figured out the general list/amounts and done similar for individual > items, Lee > Lori via WeightAdviser.com <u13976(a)uwe> wrote in message > news:550f559fc90f3(a)uwe... > > Yesterday I had an idea to start making meal cards.

I found this website that makes looking for weight watchers food much easier, they list the point value for all the items on their site.... All their Items are under 3 points and it definately makes shopping easier with the points already calculated. http://www.pointsdiet.com Catherine White wrote: >Hi, Lori, that is a good idea.
