and the answer is -
roughly work out about 8 points going on a take away portiom of rice

Thanks so much - really appreciate you finding that out

My personal rule is that if I am having chinese, I only eat a half the portion. It means that I make sure I damn well really want it before I order. Cos half will be going in the bin or the boyfriend. That way I can manage the points if I get a say chicken satay and boiled rice. Also you don't feel blehk and piggish for eating it all.

How many points would be in the half-portion of Satay with boiled rice? I've recently started WW, and this is a personal favourite of the GF.

Hi guys,

I went out to dinner last night and although I tried to chose well, I have no clue how to point it. Here's what I ate:

Starter - Caprese salad (plate filled with tomato and mozzerella with green pesto drizzle and basil

Main - Cod fillet. Served with porcini mushrooms, brocolli, cauliflower, carrots and mangetout (looked like small bit of butter on veg)

Dessert - skipped

Cocktail - Free !! (so couldn't say no):D. Basically it tasted like a small watered down cosmo - made from grenadine, peach schnapps and rum - no alcohol taste thou

Thanks for your help - just need rough idea of points for all of the above.

It depends on the chinese you order from as sauces can vary greatly.

My local does a thin light satay sauce *perfect for me* so I mark it as 3 points for a half portion of boiled rice and depending on the sauce either 5-7 points for the chicken satay. (2.5 for the breast of chicken and 2.5 - 4.5 for the sauce)

If anyone else thinks I got the figures wrong please just feel free to correct me

So either 8-10 points according to how its made.

What is the kcals and sat fat on the large bags??? il work it out for ye from that

alanna22

thanks both of you I'd say I had about 2 regular bags' worth....whoops! so probably about 7points..can I save points from the next few days to make up for it?
Edit; I'm not sure Suzie they're in the bin now but I'd say 7points worth is about right, thanks though

Moodiecow82

Hi can anyone help im not sure how many points in a rice krispie bun - had two today at my nephews bday couldnt resist

susita06

any one give me a guess on how manypoints are in ribs.... i.e ribs that you have with bacon and cabbage?

RubyB82

Hi All, very new to this and need to some help..i am going for a family lunch in Luigi Malones next Sunday for a birthday and i have been looking at the menu online all weekend and cannot see what would be the best choice for a low point starter & mains (taking into account that i hate fish) ? Does anyone have any idea which would be the best choices

cherryred

hi ruby - I would go for the onion soup (ask for no croutons or cheese) although I'm not sure how much oil they use. For main I would have the feta salad with just red wine vinegar.

Don't be afraid to tell them exactly what you want. So you could ask for the Chicken fajitas with no mayo and a salad. Or if you don't see something you like on the starter menu ask for a salad and vinegar.

RubyB82

thanks a million Cherryred, excellent idea about the fajitas

rebelmomma

I threw out the calorie info for Actimel - any idea of points?

jersey01

Hi guys, I am looking to start WW, but I am hoping to use the online version. Does anyone else use this and how do they compare it to going to meetings. Thanks

Hi margaret.f - I think McCambridges is one point per slice, and butter is one point per teaspoon- size of top of thumb.

Can anyone tell me how many points are in a battered sausage from the chipper?

Have such a longing for one for a few days now. I'll save points for a few days so I can have one next week. Unless they're 50 points or something.

Thanks.

margaret.f

thanks a mill. am just trying to come to terms again with trying to diet

margaret.f

muirgheal thanks a lot still trying to learn portion control and points system

dextero

Did anyone try the new specially selected garlic and herb sausages in Aldi - they are only 2 points each and really tasty!

stripysocks85

AFAIK McCambridges works out as 1.5 per slice!!!
Battered sausage - no idea, but it'd be about 4 for the sausage alone as they're big, and depending on how much batter on em could add another 3 - 5 points in my opinion!

Muirgheal

Thanks Stripeysocks85- I have been pointing my bread wrong!

I'd say 10 points might be an ok allowance for a battered sausage then- roll on firday night!

my WW leader told me 8 for battered sausage so thats what I calculate it at when I'm having some and chipper chips at 9, which I think should be higher

I worked out one bag, you should really weigh them

rubadub wrote: »

Bag of chips from Italian chipper 455g

Going off mc-cains site their premium chips are 253kcal and 7.2g fat sat per 100g

So 1,151kcal and 33g sat fat so 24.5points for the bag.

Is that really true..if it is you've made my day i love sausages but for the size of them once they cooked i cant justify the points..these are fab i had them during d summer on bbq..i wonder are the chilli ones the same??

By the way does anyone know that points that are in the Bensons Curry powder..ive been googling it but getting nowhere..plan on using it in chicken curry this evening..or would mcdonnells be lower?
thanks everyone

The info is on the pack, I posted it before.

rubadub wrote: »

Ingredients: plain flour, veg oil, tomato paste, salt, sugar, MSG, creamed coconut, chilli powder, onion powder.
(this is bensons so I presume it is vegan, not sure of the MSG?)

per 100g
Protein 7.68g
carbs 51g
fat 19.1g

so you would have to weigh how much you are using and put it in the one of the calculators. The kcal is on the label. A tomato based curry sauce would have less kcal & fat, hot Indian type ones can be quite low.

fendigal

Thanks rubadub..i didnt really have a good read of the packet and i was makin up points for the day in wrk and pack was at home..il be sure to have look at it this evening. I always thought the indian ones would be higher in points..i guess its worth having a look at the jars. Aldi do a fab jelfrezi in a jar..well worth a look for points.
Thanks

fendigal wrote: »

Yes, its essential, just hold 2 side by side and compare them. The korma types have lots of fat and so are higher in kcals/points.


Pataks Korma http://www.pataks.co.uk/products/korma-cooking-sauce.aspx
211kcal 9.9g sat fat

balti http://www.pataks.co.uk/products/balti-cooking-sauce.aspx
101kcal 0.5g sat fat

yeah thanks a mill ! I was just at my mams today and she has an old book i checked the points and its actually a half a point for 3 small plums! 3 !!! great, i love them!

i also checked curry powder and there's 0 points in that...not sure what bensons is but regular curry powder is 0...?!

Sorry in advance If this has been asked before but does anybody know how many points are in a Bagel Factory Mushroom melt bagel? I had a look on their website and can't see anything there. It gives you the nutritional information on the different bagel per 100g but I'm sure there is more than 100g of bagel in a bagel (if you know what I mean) plus the toppings too.

Thanks a mil

Muirgheal

So- its October and the shops are full of halloween brack- and I love it!

But was looking at labels and I could find no nutritional data on the bracks stocked in my local centra.

Can anyone tell me how many points in Barmbrack?

I am hoping to re-join next week .. does anyone know where Gwen has her class now and what times, I have a feeling it was somewhere on kildare street?

Thanks a mil

Hi all,
Vaguely considering doing ww at home (ie - just counting points myself, done it about 3 years ago)
Was pointing some food around the house and came unstuck at Wexford Cheddar Slices.
The pack of 10 slices is 200g (ie- so each is 20g) The nutritional info says that 100g is 416cal & 21.7g sat fat. So I'm thinking I divide this by 5 and get the amount of a slice. But the online calculator won't do it and when I divide the numbers individually by 5 and do it I get an optimistic 2 points per slice!
Surely I'm not this lucky!
Any ideas?
Thanks!

cactuspaw

I work it out at 2.3 ... so round up to 2.5 points per slice

Hi all,

Apologies if anyone has asked this before, but I haven't used boards in ages & was wondering if anyone knows the points in white pudding?
It's one of those things I just can't point.

7 months in WW and lost 30.5lbs so far......

hockeysticks

I emailed Clonakilty black pudding and asked for the nutritional value of their black pudding ..here is what they sent me:

Black Pudding :- the average energy values per 100g of product is 1321Kj
/ 317 kcal's. In simple terms, there is ~ 22g of Fat per 100g of product
--->>> 7 points per 100g
White Pudding :- the average energy values per 100g of product is 1019Kj
/244 kcal's. In simple terms, there is ~ 14g of Fat per 100g of product.

---

>>> 5 points per 100g

Hope this helps
