    I would say calories! Since there are some foods worth 0 points...you could eat a ton of them and lose no weight! Calories are more accurate! Thats my opinion anyway! I think it would be easier for me to cheat that way!

    Thanks for information.I think I will try the calories It should be easier than the points.You have to use the calculator to figure up cal,fat,fiber to get the points.:yawn: Counting calories will save a lot of time.:smile::smile: Thank you again.
