I'm reading a lot of inquiries about how one can balance Weight Watchers with REAL food. I don't do Weight Watchers, but have in the past. In order to calculate these points, I pulled out my old materials. The points are my own calculation/estimation and I cannot guarantee accuracy. Page references are from Nourishing Traditions Revised Second Edition. If you don't have a copy, order one from Amazon (I've found it's cheaper than local bookstores, no I don't make money if you click and order).
