Question

Hey guys, question!  Does anyone know why a single serving of something can be 2 points and a 2nd serving only 1?Hey guys, question! Does anyone know why a single serving of something can be 2 points and a 2nd serving only 1? For example, for breakfast this morning I scanned it and said 2 points for 1 slice. I ate 2 slices and it calculated 3 points instead of 4, for 2 slices. you’d think if 2 points per slice, it would be 4, not 3 ‍♀️

Answer 1

It’s because WW rounds up or down to the nearest point. For example your item may be 1. 4 SP and rounded down to 1 but if you eat two 2. 8 would be rounded up to 3.

@hildegard that makes sense

Answer 2

No decimals in WW Mostly it works the other way

Answer 3

It takes in rounding of nutrients so for example 1 slice of cheese might might actually 1. 49 points but since it’s low it scans at 1 point the you take the second slice and it adds the “just under” points and the 2 add to 3 instead of 4z

Answer 4

It’s like taking a zero point food of soy sauce at 1 serving its zero point but after a few teaspoons it adds to be a point

Answer 5

For example 1 babybel 1 point 2 babybel 3 pt 3 v b abybel 4 pts

Answer 6

It depends on where it falls when calculated. If it’s 1. 6 it will round to 2, but 2 servings would be 3. 2, therefore, would round to 3.  

Answer 7

The calories, sugars etc for two together may calculate as 3pts. So 1 is already a low 1pt item. I always go up in serving sizes to see if I can get extra for the same or a point more. Example. Bolthouse ranch is 2pts for 2 tbsp but remains 2pts for 3 tbsp. So if it’s a bigger salad I use it!  

Answer 8

Decimals and rounding

Answer 9

Like my turkey pepperoni: serving size says 15 for 2 pts, but I scrolled down in serving sizes and I can have 12 pieces for 1 point. if I was willing to use 2 points I can go up to 20 pieces. so you gotta use the point system to your advantage

Answer 10

Thanks everyone! Makes perfect sense  

Answer 11

It has to do with rounding the numbers up and down.
