This may be a silly question..sorry before hand if it is.
Why is it...if i eat ALL my points for the day...also adding it to my fitness pal...it shows that i have gone way over the calories that i am recommended to eat by fitness pal.
How do you all get around this problem?
Thanks :o)

    What is mfp saying you are supposed to eat? Mine kept telling me 1200, which is WAY under what I should be eating. I gave up so much, because I just couldn't keep it that low. Weight watchers knows you have to eat to lose. Plus, you are probably eating a lot healthier than the calories suggest. MFP counts an apple, for example, and WW doesn't.
    Hope it helps!

    Thankyou. MFP is telling me to eat 1300 which i know is way low for me.
    I am making the mistake at the moment of eating way under my points just so i dont go over the calories on MFP.

    Besli, I just track my points in my paper tracker and add in my food on the MFP tracker. I always go over my "1200" calorie allotment from MFP, but I like the graphs. That way I can look back at an entire month and see which days I used a TON of flex points and figure out why. Or see a trend - like I always use a ton of points on Wednesdays for some reason. That kind of thing.

    I think that happens, because Point Values with W.W. are different from counting calories. Like 100 calories may not always equal 1 Points Plus Point. Do you see what I mean?
    Just stick with the points and don't worry about calorie intake. You'll lose weight!

    Thank you so much for asking this question and also Thank you to those of you that answered...I was thinking I was doing something seriously wrong when I was comparing my WWPP and MFP. I feel a lot better knowing that's not the case....WHEEEEEW!! :happy:

    another thing- fruits and veggies still have nutritional values, even if they are 0 PPV.
