[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just count calories. The WW system of basing point on nutritional content of food rather than calories is insane. When it comes to fat loss calories are king. Sure you want to eat high fiber and high protein foods and that should be encourage. but you shouldn't be punished and lose half your point for the day because you ate a 250 calorie donut. [/quote]

But eating a 250 calorie donut is WAAAYYY different than eating 2 scrambled eggs and a piece of toast. Nutritionally they are different, they keep you full longer, your brain works better when you have some protein. I don't see how anyone can eat a donut and think that's better in any way than what WW teaches you to do.[/quote]

You missed my point.

I am not saying that  the eggs aren't a better choice. Of course they are. You are always better eating protein and will feel better, but at the end of the day, when it comes to fat loss calories are what matter. [b]250 calories is 250 calories.[/b] To give 2 things that contain the same calories 2 very different points values is silly.  If I have say 20 pts for a day and  eat the 250 cal eggs for 2 points where the donut is 10 pts (making these numbers up because it has been a while since i have done WW) then that just punished people for trying to incorporate life into their diet.  And leaves then under eating which will likely lead to then overeating and going over points because they are still hungry. Then they feel like a failure.

This is wrong. Where those calories come from is key.
You can't eat a dozen donuts a day and use up your calorie limit and expect to lose weight and be healthy.[/quote]
