There's a produce place called Hyrise near where I work and they have a fruit and salad bar. I got ~250g of romaine lettuce, raw spinach, mixed beans/sprouts, 2 slices of tomato, 2-3 mushrooms sliced. No salad dressing.

I went back there to get my afternoon snack - ~350g of fruit: 4 slices of mango (1.5), 4 medium-large strawberries (.25), 1 kiwifruit sliced (.75) and half a nectarine (.75). They also had canteloupe, honeydew, orange slices, grapefruit slices, plums, peaches, raspberries, blueberries, watermelon, etc. but I didn't get a lot because they charge by weight and fruit is heavy (water content) =P Otherwise I would totally pig out on the fruit =D

fruit is the best thing ever...

You ain't kiddin' =) Why would you take a Vitamin C tablet when you could eat an orange? *boggle*

next to bread

I'm a little more picky about bread. Multi-grain only and thick slices, untoasted. When I was little, I used to call it "birdseed bread" and white bread was "cotton candy". =)

Someone gave me a really simple recipe for Beer Bread once. I should dig it up for you =D

Hmmm... I should try that, thanks! =)

All it is, is learning to eat healthy. It just so happens that it was developed from the angle of overweight folks trying to lose weight. =)

Yeah, absolutely! You don't have to follow it that strictly. Just enough that you're choosing healthy food and eating enough in a day. =)

Nope. =D I just one day worked up the courage to ask =)

incognita was wonderful about helping me out. She said that we can basically do the "Maintenance" stage of the program. Look up your weight in the chart she posted, and look at the point range. You add 4 to both the numbers that that's the point range you should be staying within per day.

I wouldn't worry about banking and other stuff. And if you go over the upper limit, no worries there either =) There's a bit about adding more points if you're exercising that I need to read/ask about again...

Dotti's Weight Loss Zone has a lot of foods and their points values. This is a good starting point.

If I can't find the food item there, I resort to a Google search for +"Weight Watchers" +"points" +"[insert food item here]" Half the time, Google finds exactly the point value I want. Most of the time, I can find a non-fat, low-fat or reduced fat version of what I want and I just double the points if it's small or add a few points, then resolve to ask incognita or something =)

I'm not too comfortable with posting points questions to ww_users, just because a) I know it's gotta be out there and b) I'm not sure I should be rubbing it in everyone's face that I'm not trying to lose weight and c) scamming info on something that everyone else pays for... =P

I don't follow the points very strictly. I'm using it as a guideline for generally choosing good food to eat and eating enough in a day.
