    It depends on your current weight, your goal weight and your sex… I’m male, 240ish and looking to lose so my daily points are 33 right now. If I wanted to maintain they would be 39. I get 28 weekly points. 4 points per day can carry over into weekly. Activities can add on to weekly (I don’t do that…)

    Eggs are 0 points so you can eat as many as you want. Chicken breast is low or free depending on cooking method. Whole wheat bread is low.

    The calories of my breakfast sandwhich is actually 500

    Weight Watchers can really work imo if you like all the 0 point foods and can stay on plan. Then again, it seems like most stuff can work if you stay on plan.

      Interesting.

      I enjoyed the “free food” philosophy the last time I was really in weight loss mode (you and I are about the same size). I just counted my “real food” calories and ate as much fruit and veg as I wanted.

      I am surprised that they count eggs as free though.

      Those are concentrated animal making material and are definitely more calorie dense than the berries and carrots and cucumbers that I fill up on when in trying to lose weight. Hell, I’d eat a dozen eggs a day if I actually thought I could lose weight doing that.

      The rest of the house would suffer. Probably worse than broccoli farts, but I’d enjoy it.
