I'm only 2 weeks in on blue and down -7. 6. The plans were explained to me like this: GREEN: more daily pts but strick tracking because less zero pt foods. The more "accountable" one. PURPLE: least daily pts less tracking due to larger zero pt options. Have to be careful to not lose "track" of how much you are eating BLUE: the middle ground between others. Decent amt of zero, needs tracking but less than on green. Look at the zero PT options and decide if you would mostly eat those, or if you would usually prefer something else, then count the pts. I love eggs and needed them to be zero. I use butter, mayo, 1/2 &1/2, cheese, and dont do fat free or lite, so chose blue to allow for those pts. Good luck!
