Points equation!
We've had family in town and have been super busy. The boys are fit to be tied over all the activity so it's good that everyone is heading home soon! I've been bad as far as eating goes since we've been out a lot but we'll see how tomorrow morning looks. I think it'll actually be OK based on quick checks this week.
I did some looking and found the actual weight watchers points equation that is listed in their patent (# 6040513 if anyone cares to look it up). If you don't have the calculator handy, this will help you figure stuff out!
p = (c / 50) + (f / 12) - (min{r,4} / 5)
p = points
c = calories
f = fat grams
r = dietary fiber grams
min{r,4} means the lower number between dietary fiber and 4. So if somehting has 8 grams of dietary fiber, you would use the number 4. If it had 2 grams of dietary fiber, you would use the number 2. Hope this helps!!!
