Pretty sure a twister is 1.5 points.

I checked against their website and it was 1.15points, so 1 when rounded. I expect it could well have been 1.5 at some stage. many products are getting smaller these days, especially when in mulitpacks.

Does anyone know the points or nutritional information for them little pancakes you buy in the plastic packaging usually 6 or so in a pack? had 3 this morning at a friends and have no idea of the points, im hoping they're around the same points per pancake as a slice of bread maybe? If someone has a packet handy could they give me an estimate for mine? thanks

At the top of the page on the upper right hand side you will see a "search this thread" dropdown menu, you can enter searches in there to find hits, e.g just type in "chips". I found my previous post using that search.

Just back from the Chinese now, chips weighing in at 395g, so 853kcal, 4.3g sat fat, so 13.5 points. Again that is conservative using the McCains figures which are probably lower than usual to appear lower in cals.

This is a pretty standard size that I get in most chinese takeaways. The other day I only had a small bite for lunch and got a chinese at about 7pm, convinced I would demolish it, but only managed just over half of it, and I am known as a scoffer! they do give stupid portions. You are far better off splitting a portion or saving half for later/next day. I see more chinese places doing half portions of stuff now, I expect to cater for teenagers without much money who would otherwise head to the italian chipper. You could always ask for a half portion, I see people in my local one do it.

My ww leader had a poster of chipper points.

She had a battered sausage at 7 points.

Hope that helps!

alpha2010

See I find that so hard to believe... like a thick sausage uncooked in our books are 3.5 points and that wouldnt be anywhere near the size of the sausages gotten in the chipper, then you have to account for the batter which we all know is so fattening and top that off with the oil from deep frying? I find the plan so good for following at home but i think they rarely get it right when it comes to eating out, you know?

alpha2010

yeah I'm the same with eating out, always underestimate anyways let me believe its 7 even if its not hahah i need some bad food right now.. ill go crazy if not lol

blueirishangel

Ok the points I got from my meeting are:

chips - 9
fish - 7
small burger - 8
1/4 pounder with cheese - 17.5
battered sausage - 7


If you have the points, go for it! A treat is a treat!

therambling

haha thats my exact attitude to eating singapore chow mein from the chinese... there is no way it is only 7.5points per tray but the bad part of me says just accept it and eat it haha

Yeah I agree, but I fool myself into going along with their points when it's in my interests!

Haven't had a chipper in ages - I always make sure my oh gets one when I'm out so he gets what he wants and I can't be tempted!

alpha2010

same my oh was on a diet but now he not so im sitting in mc donalds watching him eating a big mac, i dont mind as much but he tempts me into eating it like tonight for instance were having chiper, he keeps trying to convince its horrible ha :P

When stating the points they should always state the weight too. Far too many questions are asking how long is a piece of string.

I would refuse to pay for a cod in batter that was only 7 points in size. A mc donalds quarter pounder with cheese is 10 points, dunno what chipper your leader goes to but I want one of those 1/4 lbers.
http://www.mcdonalds.ie/cmspages/static/mcdonalds_nutrition_chart.pdf
Quarter Pounder with Cheese 490kcal 13g sat fat

Same here, I would refuse to pay. I worked out the points as 33.5 for a singapore chow mein in my local chinese, so 7.5 points worth would be less than a quarter my usual.

I got a singapore chow mein last week, weighed 800g.
Using this calculator http://points.ogo.ms/
I hit 5.5 points at 370kcal presuming zero fat (and it was fairly greasy)
That means if this was true then it was 46.25kcal per 100g. I would estimate it at 250kcal per 100g though, this is comparing it to supermaret ready meals and the fact that the noodles are much denser, i.e. not boiled to death where they take up lots of water. A single pack of 80-100g dry supernoodles can be 550-600kcal. I would also conservatively estimate 5% fat since it was fried noodles & meat and quite oily, so 40g of fat, and 20g goes in my calculator. So using the same calculator I would estimate 33.5points.

Had a pub lunch today - tandoori chicken (with sauce) and rice and a small naan, anybody have an idea of points for this?

You really need to know the portion sizes- this goes for everybody. When eating out learn how to eyeball portion sizes, then you can go to supermarkets and compare similar ready meals to them, and not the lowfat ready meals! the expensive ones which are rich like restaurant ones would be. I find portions are usually 1.5 times the size of supermarket ones, if it is a takeaway portion it is usually twice the size. You would usually get ~700g of food.

Proper tandoori chicken is an excellent choice as it is lean with good protein, however you said you got sauce which sounds like it is more like a chicken tikka masala, which is chicken cooked in a tandoor oven but with a creamy sauce.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_tikka_masala

The sauce can contain coconut which is very high in saturated fats and therefore very high in points -as WW points are heavily biased against sat fat for some reason. I eat plenty of coconut, if I was on WW I would probably starve as it is so high in points!

Again best use
http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/
http://points.ogo.ms/

http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/tesco-price-comparison/Indian_Cuisine/Tesco_Finest_Tandoori_Chicken_Sizzler_600g.html

785kcal 5g sat fat, per 550g pack =12.5points
so I reckon yours would be about 17points, depending on size of course.

Not sure about the wine but i know king lite crisps are only 2 points and they taste exactly the same as the normal king which are 2.5 points. Perri light are lovely too and they are also 2 points you can buy them in Aldi. Oh and Meanies are only 1.5 points

i think a glass of wine is roughly two points.

speaking about crisps
my favourite at the moment are velvet crunch 1-1.5 points.
i also eat snax, skips, meanies, treble crunch which are all 1.5 points.
i love me crisps...

biddywiddy

The WW points for a glass of wine is 2, two glasses = 3.5 points, three glasses = 5.5 points and four glasses (1 bottle) = 7 points.
