Question

I have 38 points left for dinner and was planning a salad. Weigh in is tomorrow and I don’t want to do anything stupid. Any suggestions?  

Answer 1

Grilled chicken and beans over salad with some cheese maybe? That would be a very filling low point meal, depending on what color u r doing.  

Answer 2

I’d do a hearty grilled chicken or shrimp salad. That’s a lot of points left but good luck

Answer 3

38 left? I only get 28 for the whole day!

@buckshot good for you! I wish you well on your journey.

@sauers so I guess they'll go down as I lose?  

---

@sauers oh good. At what weight do they assign it?  

Answer 4

Protein drink  

Answer 5

Never heard of anyone having sooo many points left for dinner? How many for the entire day and what color?  

Comments

@buckshot you have so much flexibility with 38 pts. Don’t starve yourself to weigh less at the scale. You probably won’t lose much by not eating.  

Answer 6

I get 23 on blue

Answer 7

I only get 30 a day on green. EAT an omelette with veggies

Answer 8

Heck i only get 23

Answer 9

That’s a lot of points left over. You need to eat more of them that’s why they’re there. You can only carry over 4

@buckshot I’m not saying you did bad. But now you can have an awesome dinner & even wine if that’s your thing  enjoy your points

@buckshot I understand familiarity lol I eat the same breakfast every working day cuz it works. But branch out explore get creative! This is a lifestyle not a diet so ask yourself “can I eat this way for the rest of my life? ” Don’t let it get boring or a list of “can’t haves” Have fun   

Answer 10

Eat a big steak with veggies. Good protein, some fat. Not greasy junk.  

Answer 11

Lucky! Enjoy those points while you can. Bottom out at 30 on green.  

Answer 12

I get 23

@correggio me too

Answer 13

How do you have that many points left? How many do you get a day?  

Comments

@discomfort8 points are based on weight age height and gender

---

Oh, I only get 23

Answer 14

How many daily points do you get a day?  

Answer 15

38 points for dinner? Huh?  

Answer 16

Eating a salad the night before a weigh in wont make you lose just like eating a piece pie before wont make gain. It doesnt work that quick

Answer 17

38 ? You must not eat breakfast, lunch or snacks. I guess you could be eating all 0 points until evening. Whatever works for you. Wish I didn't like carbs during the day.

@discomfort8 Buchheit maybe the 38 is including weeklies? As it’s weigh in tomorrow

---

@discomfort8 Buchheit it is most important for you to understand the difference between daily total allowance and weekly points. Be sure to get that explained to you for it will affect your weight loss if misunderstood.  

---

@quinone4 sure, if mentioned that we be the easy answer.  

---

@discomfort8 Buchheit i don’t use my weeklies. I was just wondering if this might be the answer

---

@quinone4 I don't use my weeklies either, BUT I figure a few( 2) almonds, (2) crackers and (2) pretzels I grab in my tough time of day uses up some of my weeklies. So bad!  

Answer 18

Add cheese, high protein, light weight, high in points, grape and even some nuts.  

Answer 19

I don’t get that many points for the day

Answer 20

I don’t think anyone gets 38 points

Comments

I started out at 45 points a day. It's based on age, height, weight etc.
