[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  I'm not advocating eating donuts, as one poster suggested.  This also is not about eating less food, because apparently I could eat hard boiled eggs and bananas all day long and it would count for 0 points.  I want to eat my gluten free steel cut oats (170 calories) or hot quinoa cereal (130 calories) for breakfast without it taking up a huge chunk of my points for the day.   I would like to have brown rice as a side dish without it counting as 5-6 points.

I don't feel well when I eat high protein and eliminate grains -- I have tried low carb and it doesn't work for me.

I definitely come from the days when Weight Watchers wanted you to eat five servings of whole grains.  That worked for me and was what I thought I was signing up for.  It sounds like there is not a setting I can choose or option to select to go back to the old plan, so I guess I will be canceling and trying something else.[/quote]

There is no need to eliminate grains. If anything the program makes you aware of what a serving should be and it made me go back to actually measuring. I think what is strategic about some of the no point foods is most people would feel sick overdoing it. It's the rare person who would eat a carton of eggs or half dozen bananas. I find as I age the amount of whole grains I need decreases if I want to maintain a weight or lose-not low carb at all, but cannot handle as much. It makes me more fatigued too.[/quote]
