how many points in that?
Posted by timezoneone
So after weeks of too much turkey, wine and puddings….. the chicago office (excluding Hamish who has a metabolism of a race horse) are on a “I need to loose my pooch” diet. The result, lots of points counting with our trusted weight watches bible. Â
Just so you know how it works:
Girl = daily allowance 20 points per day
Bloke =Â daily allowance 30 points per day (Rob I’m sure they’d let someone with trooousers your size have a few more).
The trick is to pick food which is high on ‘fill’ and low on calories/fat
See below for some very healthy/unhealthy choices…
| 1 medium sized baked potato | 1 point |
| Watties baked beans (210 g can) | 3.5 points |
| Burger King, double quarter pounder with cheese | 17 points |
| McDonalds Chickens selects – breast strips | 31 points |
| Pizza Hut Meat lovers stuffed crust (one slice) | 13 points |
| Low fat yoghurt | 3 points |
| Cookie Time Chocolate Chip Cookie | 7 points |
| Glass of wine (medium glass) | Glass of wine (medium) |
| Egg (hard boiled) | 2 points |
| Sausage roll (large) | 7.5 points |
