Doing WW and MFP ?

If you're going to track, I'd track everything you eat. Isn't it possible to go over your calories on "zero point" foods?

WW gives you a fairly low amount of calories each day to offset all the higher calorie zero point foods they assume you'll eat. And some of their zero point fruits really are a significant amount of calories.

MFP on the other hand, gives you exactly how many calories you should eat.

If you combine them and eat what MFP gives you, you will almost definitely slow your weight loss, maybe stop it.

If you don't eat all what MFP tells you, what benefit are you even getting from tracking?

As some have said, WW has zero point food as part of a whole point system that gives you X points which is low to accommodate a certain amount of zero point food, but they also artificially lower points for certain lean proteins and artificially raise points of foods with carbs and sugars to steer the user towards a certain diet.

MFP is really just calories in, calorie out, so I don’t think the two really work together in that way. Eggs, fat free Greek yogurt, fruits - a lot of WW free foods have a fair amount of calories. WW just wanted you to chose a 100 calorie apple instead of a 100-calorie pack of Oreos and they do a good job steering you to the “healthy” choices with the point system.

I did WW for years with success and then gained some weight back and needed to lose again and WW just wasn’t doing it for me. I hated that i couldn’t eat certain foods bc they were so high in points when I knew they were not high in calories. MFP has been wonderful for me - I lost every week, ate whatever I wanted (in appropriate portions) and am now in maintenance. I would give MFP a try. Counting every calorie is a pain in the beginning but it gets easier as you start to eat the same things.

Good luck!
