Question:Can anyone give me some idea as to how many points this is
worth, and how I need to adjust my daily intake of food and still
remain on the program?
Answer:
Do you got o meetings? Are you a member online? You just count it as any
activity points..
I have all the manuals and training stuff from Weight Watchers. I was
told that a "rule of thumb" is to count 1 point for every 100 calories
of exercise. So, 2100 calories would be 21 points. So, if I'm
supposed to eat 29 points each day, Does this mean I should eat 50
points for the day I do all this running in order to eat my weight
watchers points for the day? Could I carry the 21 points over to the
next day instead?
you need to use your activity points finder and go that way with it, 2.5
hours at med or high intensity and your weight.
no carrying it over but you need to figure the points on the points finder
to be really accurate.
Youc an carry your points over if you want to..
I don't recommand it.. but since we rolled core.. you can use them later..
That "rule of thumb" is far from accurate... use your tools and count your
activity points accurately..
At 135 lbs, moderate activity for 150 minutes (2.5 hours) would be 7 pts..
high intensity would be 16 pts.. at 175 lbs moderate intensity would be 9
pts, high 21.
I don't believe anybody can maintain a high intensity for 2.5 hours.. but
hey.. what do I know..
You better under-estimate than over-estimate when it comes to activity pts.
I know I've heard this before but I'm still having problems classifying
low, medium and high intensity. How is this in terms of jogging? For
example, 3 miles per hour (low)? 4 miles per hour (medium)? 5 miles
per hour (high)?
5 miles per hour would be dead for me, Lee, seriously the descriptions are
in the book.
It's not a good idea to do it.. because the metabolic boost is gone by the
time you eat the pts.
BUT if you've been working your behind off all week, and the one day you
didn't move, you've got this surprise party.. you've burned them..
It's all in how active you are. I carry mine over, because I earn a lot of
them everyday (and rarely eat them)..
