Just a quick inquiry, divide fat by 12, so if you have something like 2 grams 
of fat, that would be something like .17, right? V

  Well, just wanted to share something for WW participants that I've always 
found helpful since we can't use the calculators that they give out.  This is 
the formula that someone shared some years ago on another list that I was on.  
It's the formula for calculating points.
  You'll need the amount of fiber, fat, and calories per serving in the food.


  Multiply fiber times 10
  Subtract that number from the calories
  Divide the result by 50
  Save this partial point value.

  Divide the fat by 12
  Add that result to the partial point number

  This will give you the correct points value.

  How many points do you eat for breakfast?  I like to keep mine around 3 
points or so, so i can get more points for lunch or dinner. V

    Coffee and I usually have some sort of cereal like Honey Nut Chereos or 
Honey Bunches of Oats and fruit, or another favorite is a waffle or piece of 
whole wheat toast with peanut butter and banana on it.
