This morning I bought a tray for breakfast from our cafeteria at school. It included a cup of 2% milk, ( 3 pts.) 1 small biscuit (4 pts) and one cup of scrambled eggs. I innocently assumed one cup of scrambled eggs would be low in points since the cafeteria doesn't add any fat, just a little bit of milk. Well, I can't find anywhere an equation for how many eggs equals one cup, but if my calculations are correct, I blew SEVEN points on a cup of EGGS??? With no added fat??? What a jolt!!!
I am not sure of the count but I do understand your upset, like my 18 point late' man was I glad it was the end of the week and I had flex points, WannaBLean <[email protected]> wrote in message news:[email protected]... > This morning I bought a tray for breakfast from our cafeteria at school.

I did the exact same thing when I first joined. I was on vacation, and didn't have access to the online info. I decided to have a "healthy" breakfast each day, and had 2 eggs, toast and a large orange juice! I was stunned when I got back home and checked out what I ate. Well, either I had been eating so badly before, or maybe it was all the walking we did, I still managed to lose weight that first week. I know more now, and I try to make good choices. But, goofs still happen, and I just go on from there. Hang in there, WannaBe! You can do this one step at a time. -- Wendy http://griffinsflight.com/Quilting/quilt1.htm de-fang email address to reply "WannaBLean" <[email protected]> wrote in message news:[email protected]... > This morning I bought a tray for breakfast from our cafeteria at school.

A US large egg is about 1/4 cup, and 2 points, so that sounds about right. Lessons learned...

Just do not get down... We all will make some type of mistake like that sooner or later.... Thanks for the flex points... Charlie..

Uh Oh! Eggs can be one of those things that you really have to watch, especially scrambled eggs as they are mostly measured by the scoop/cup. WW Online lists 1 cup of scrambled eggs at 10.5 points! -- Brenda 209/178/150 RafL goal 165 "WannaBLean" <[email protected]> wrote in message news:[email protected]... > This morning I bought a tray for breakfast from our cafeteria at school.

Thankfully, I didn't go over my limit, even with the eggs!! Thanks to all of you for your wonderful support. I don't weigh till Monday so the weekend is going to be a challenge as we tend to eat out on weekends. I'm going to stick to baked chicken breasts and salads and I have a Smart Ones treat waiting on me in the freezer for Monday night as a reward for being good!

Yikes! That's why I now ask for egg beaters whenever I eat eggs out. Too many points. "Brenda Hammond" <[email protected]> wrote in message news:[email protected]... > Uh Oh!
