Question for those who do Weight Watchers

Do any of you have a website that you use as a point calculator? I found this one, http://www.meganandjack.com/points_calculator.htm and it seems accurate. The thing is, you know how on the actual points slider the fiber grams don't go past 4? On this site, if you eat something that is more than 4g of fiber, it takes that into account and adjusts the points accordingly. For instance, I made a burrito today that according to the site's calculator, it's 5 points. But when I do it manually using the slider, it comes to 9 points (the tortilla has 21g of fiber!) I know that there's a formula that is used in calculating points...but my question is, if I go by what this calculator says, will I be eating too much?

Hope this made sense! :laugh:

Hi toots! (LOVE your username btw)

A ww leader told me that the slider/points calculator doesn't go beyond a certain point on purpose because if you eat enough fiber, it can really counter the calories but there's a point where it backfires. In other words, I think you will be eating too much.

Thanks for the reply. That's what I was thinking. I'll just play it safe and when in doubt, go with the higher (most likely correct :laugh: ) number.
