WW points

[Wanderlustnearorfar]

Hi all have joined the Ww and filled in the assessment have been given green I have 36 points daily. Which feels like a lot or is this a reasonable amount?

Hi Wander,
I have just joined and I’m on Blue. I have 23 daily points and then weeklies on too. There is a list of free foods. I think your zero foods list has less on it and that’s why the points are higher.
This is all new to me. I did weight watchers many years ago.
I started on Wednesday and have felt okay although maybe a little hungry at times. I think the danger for me is eating too much fruit.
Good luck though. Let me know how you get on!

Hi, I’m not really sure what the different colours are. Seems a lot of points. I’ve been meal planning for next week and Still have lots of pointS. Have you tried the green plan before

No, I’ve just started on blue. I think it probably seems a lot because you have to point more stuff maybe?

I've just joined and been put on blue. Not sure about the difference yet?

@missy111 with Green plan everything apart from most fruit and veg has a point so personally I find that works better for me.

I tried the other plans but found it weird that chicken breast for example had 0 points but its still has a lot of calories so I couldn’t understand how I could essentially eat endless breast and lose weight?

Depends on how strict you want to be really. green to me is more like calorie counting without too much faff

You get approx 6 more points a day on green than blue, but chicken breasts, fish, eggs and a few other things are ‘free’ on blue. They probably work it all out on the assumption that if you are on blue you might eat 2 eggs and a chicken breast and some tuna a day, and that will make up the 6 points or whatever. Blue will only work (purple even more so) if you stick to sensible portion sizes. This means the ‘purple’ is really quite like slimming world, where you get yo eat a lot of ‘free’ no points food, but anything high fat or sugar costs dearly in points.

I've just restarted and I'm on purple. I'm vegetarian and it seems that it will be ok.

I have no idea what weight I am though as the batteries have died in my scales!

I’m on green and I get 30 points a day. Everything except fruit and some veg has points though so I’m using my 30 points.

I know this is a zombie but it's common sense that you can't eat endless amounts of anything if you're on a diet/healthy eating plan. It's 0 points, not free, you still need to have portion control - you wouldn't eat endless chicken breast if you had to point it so why would you when you don't?
