Hi all,

I'm new to the boards, and new enough to ww. I was just wondering if anyone has worked out the points for butlers chocs, there were a few left over from my sisters birthday and I've been milling into them, and now i'm worried that i've derailed my whole week!!:rolleyes:

any help appreciated!

I dont about the Butlers chocolates but at Christmas our leader told us that Roses or Quality Street were 1 point per sweet.

ive been pointing the little bread rolls as 3, the medium as 5 and baguette as 7. is this too high?

In both cases you really need to get a digital scales, I would recommend salter brand ones, they are under €20 in argos.

Chocolates & bread are all roughly the same calories/points per 100g. The only difference you see in many things is portion size, like people will say "malteasers are low in points" or "skips are low in points", really they are low in weight, they are the same points per 100g as most other similar snacks.

If you go to www.mysupermarket.co.uk you will find various nutritional info for bread and chocolates and will find they are similar. Then you can work it out here http://points.ogo.ms/

One shops/persons baguette might be very different from another shops or persons idea of what a baguette is, i.e. is it one you get as a chicken fillet roll, or a full on french stick. Weighing food takes the guess work out, after doing many weighings you can eyeball food easily and estimate yourself. "give a man a fish, teach a man to fish" and all that.

Most shops will have a scales these days, the likes of centra and londis often have salad bars so you can weigh a roll beforehand, in tescos or dunnes on the self service tills they have scales for weighing veg, if you look at the screen carefully you will see weights registering as you put items down.

I contacted Cuisine de France to get the nutritional information and the baguette is 8 points.

A three egg omelette,with two easy single cheese slices ?

alpha2010

depends on size egg i think 2 for each and then 1 for low fat easy single slice and 1.5 for normal so overall maybe 8 or 9... thats prob wayyy high,
id say its much smaller than that, im just estimating on what i would calculate it at

ali85

hey folks just a tip for any of you who like your fish and chips (after half price day yesterday and all.. ) I shop in Iceland sometimes and got the battered cod for €2 for 4 pieces. They are a fair size and when I pointed them they are only 3.5points each when cooked in the oven....

I find them really good when I fancy something "fatty"

Triceratops Ballet

moonshaddow, you could just do what I do, use one full egg and the whites of how ever many eggs you fancy, its only the yolk that has points

Hi Everyone

Can't help with hot chocolate but as far as I know a slice of Pizza Hut pizza is 3. If you have the Shop book it's in that for definite.

A pint of cider is 3 anyway. A 330ml bottle is 1.5 as far as I know. I find I drink way less points when I have cider than when I have either wine or spirits. It's just more filling.

Many places have info on line, then you can put figures in to calculate. Pizzas have huge amounts of calories.

Another Pizza question!

Ate 3/4 of a 9 inch pizza (toppings ham and green peppers) I did scrape off some of the cheese- but it was still fairly cheesey

Was from a pizzeria rather than a dominos type place- very thin base.

Any idea of the points?

If anybody is getting takeaways they should weigh it when you get it, then compare to similar looking ones online.

I got a chicagotown pepperoni one the other day.

http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/tesco-price-comparison/Frozen_Pizza_And_Breads/Chicago_Town_Takeaway_Pepperoni_Stuffed_Crust_Pizza_645g.html

They give values per 1/4 pizza, but I ate the lot, dunno who would be satisfied by 1/4, half perhaps.

Full pizza 1752kcal 36.8g sat fat. 34 points.

For a Pizza go with a vegetarian option and thin base, Milano's has about 13 points so not great, but certainly not the worst.

anyone know how many points is in a plain white pitta bread? I had a few wrapped up in the freezer but of course I threw out the box....

its the oval shaped one

thanks in advance!!!

ya-what-now?

I've been using mysupermarket for finding out the nutritional info lately, on recommendation of rubadub (I think!), so using that, see http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/Shopping/FindProducts.aspx?Query=pitta+bread

I got 2.5pts using the Tesco White Pittas which are oval shaped so probably around the same size as the one you have there!

ali85

thanks a mill... bit of a disasterous week so far so I'm watching each and every point from here til thursday!!! :P

Hey guys, another question about pizza hut

today I went to the restaurant and had an individual margharita pizza - deep pan (stupidly I didn't even think of asking for the thin base)
I also had their oven fries for a starter, it was a very small portion and I only ate half...

anybody any thoughts??

Most of the big fast food places have info online. It is best to pick the UK sites as the american ones usually have different values, usually bigger.

Searching
pizza hut uk nutirional info

in google got me it on the first hit.

:Dhey everybody, great thread

Does anybody know how many ww points in curry powder , is it fattening? i use mcdonnels sometimes its gorgeous but prob loaded with calories! appreciate any advice:)

The Big Red Button

OK I'm new to this and still have to get used to points and portion sizes etc! I ended up having to get a wrap in O'Brien's today for lunch, as I didn't have time to go home like I've been doing the last couple of days, and I have no idea how many points were in it!

It was a seeded wrap ... she only put the teensiest tiniest scraping of pesto on just one half of it (stingey cow! ), then there was about half a ball of mozzerella, a "normal" sized portion of chicken, and onions and peppers.

Thanks for any help!

I actually got a really really good accurate digital scales in M&S the other day, it was marked €20 but only cost €16 at the till, I think there's a 20% sale on there at the moment!
