WW Question

Have you ever gotten two different points for the same food...like if you count slice per slice on bread, it comes out to 1 point each, but if you count two slices together (with the calculator) it comes out to three points.
I just did my breakfast/lunch seperately per item and got 9 points, then added the calories, fat and fiber together and put it in my calculator and got 11 points.
What's the right way?

Re: WW Question

I'm not sure about the bread but as far as a meal goes, I can see how putting everything together would change the points because of the fiber. The max amount of fiber that's counted towards your points is 4 grams. Maybe by putting it together, it's more points cause all the fiber didn't count?
I'm not sure if it's the right way, but I don't combine foods to figure out points values unless I am cooking them together. Otherwise, I just use the individual points values.

Re: WW Question

I believe the "right" way is to count everything together. For example, if I have 2 slices of bread for my sandwhich. One slice is 1 pt, but 2 slices is 2.5 (because of the fiber cut off). If I am eating it at the same time I combine. If they are two separate events I don't.
