Jimmy Dean Frittata Weight Watchers Points

Post by algrams on Dec 11, 2017 18:35:49 GMT Hi all! My apologies if this has been addressed already, but I just joined today, although I am not new to WW. I buy many products that I heat up, such as Jimmy Dean Turkey Sausage and Veggie Frittatas. Since eggs are now zero points, is there a way to recalculate the points value under the new Freestyle program? I am thinking that the frittatas, which are 6 points under the old points system, would be reduced somewhat under the new, but I can't find a way to do that? Thanks all, and I am so thankful for this board!!! Annie

Post by fullmahina on Dec 11, 2017 21:32:46 GMT I think I know what you mean. It seems that many store items in the WW database have not been recalculated to reflect the new Freestyle Smart Points values. The other night I had a Benje's Naturals vegetarian chili bowl. It comes up on the WW database as having 7 points. It is all vegetables and beans. 5 grams of fat, 5 grams of sugar. Even assuming the sugar is all added sugar and not naturally occurring (which I don't think is the case), one serving would come to only 3 Smart Points. I'm not claiming that this is a super scientific way to figure things but I put the grams of sugar and fat in the WW recipe builder and came up with that amount. I think that's closer than the 7 points that shows right now in the database. I counted it as 7 points at the time and grumbled but next time I will count it as 3 SP's. This is all going to take time, of course, and I think WW should at least make some kind of notation next to packaged foods to let us know whether or not their points values have been updated. Until then, we'll have to wing it, I guess. The problem with things that are egg-based is that eggs are relatively high in fat, unlike beans and vegetables. Not sure how that would translate when trying to figure out new points values. Gone are the days when you could input calories, fat, and fiber and come up with WW points. zazzles ---I know you are really good at this stuff---any formulas yet?

Even assuming the sugar is all added sugar and not naturally occurring (which I don't think is the case), one serving would come to only 3 Smart Points. I can't see that doing that is a workable solution. If it isn't something like a frozen entree that has distinct pieces of chicken or turkey breast meat which can be estimated in terms of ounces, anything is just a guess. Canned chili would be one thing I'd simply take the points for based on running the NI through the calculator. I suspect one of WW's goals with Freestyle is to get people eating meals that consist of plain foods from recipes or meals they put together at home. And the points are available for convenience foods and restaurant eating.

And the points are available for convenience foods and restaurant eating. Yep, I am thinking that any kind of numeric formula would be difficult because the new points are based on food categories, not calories or fat grams. Running the NI through the recipe builder is what I did for the chili, figuring that the carbs from the beans and veggies would not be counted towards a Freestyle total. I assumed the fat grams would be from added fat. The sugars....not sure and I didn't have the patience to research the sugar grams in all the veggies in the meal. I realize that points are available for some convenience foods and restaurant items but I believe that they haven't updated all the foods in their database yet. In any case, I'm not going to agonize. If it looks like something has too many points for its ingredients (as the veggie chili appeared to have) I will go with it and try to figure it out later.

Post by zazzles on Dec 11, 2017 22:28:18 GMT but I believe that they haven't updated all the foods in their database yet. And they may well never do so. Unless WW provides a tool for manufacturers to use, or the manufacturers provide precise ingredient lists with quantities, WW has no way to determine what part of a product should be treated as zero points. Sometimes "guesstimating" is all we can do.

Post by Kitty on Dec 11, 2017 22:31:01 GMT I have a process that I follow to do that. First, some foods have not been changed. There are I think 3 possible reasons for this. One reason is that the food doesn't meat criteria to be reduced. For example, let's say it has chicken thighs in it. Not going to be reduced. Second, maybe WW just hasn't gotten to it yet (don't know if that has occurred or not. Third, manufacturer/restaurant hasn't provided WW the needed information. In this last case, the recipe may never get adjusted. So my process is roughly this: 1. I run the nutritional info through the calculator. If the calculator says 11 points and WW says 5 then I figure it was updated and stop there (there may be some foods that were previously adjust for veggies and need further adjustment now). 2. I read the ingredient list to see what should be 0 point and what shouldn't. Note that whether sugar is added or natural makes no difference. In any event, I go by the ingredients. 3. Let's say all but one items is 0 point like with the prepared bean salad I bought the other day at the grocery store. Everything else was 9 point. Let's say the only non-zero point ingredient was oil and the item has 10 grams of fat. I know oil doesn't have sugar or protein so I would run the calculatio with 90 calories (10 x 9) and will put in however many grams of sat fat are on the NI. I put in 0 sugar and protein. I will deduct the result from how much the NI alone would say the points would be. 4. Let's say only 1 item is 0 point and the rest has points. I do the above but in reverse. Let's say the item has skinless chicken breast. I estimate the amount. Depending on item, I may be able to weigh it. But, usually I just have to eyeball it. I then use the NI for that amount of the chicken and figure the points and deduct from the total points for the item. 5. Let's say the items is mixed. Some 0 point, some not. I sort of do a hybrid of the above based upon what is easy to calculate and what isn't. This is an estimate so I just do my best but going for the higher point total if unsure.

Post by catfishbabs on Dec 11, 2017 23:01:01 GMT Before now WW did not reduce points for a processed food that contained 0 point ingredients. Many dish's have fruit / and or vegetables but the NI for the total food was used. Now that more foods are zero points and they are foods that have more calories people feel like the food should be reduced. In some instances this seems ok. In other instances maybe not. Taking this entree from the tracker right now Lean Cuisine Culinary Collection Chicken parmesan 10SP . Assuming it has chicken breast and not chicken thigh people may think it should be lower in points. If you look at the total amount of protein it is 18 grams. 2 oz of chicken breast is 17.4 grams of protein and if I remember correctly that was only 1 point. If you reduced it I think probably it would only be by 1 making it9. Maybe WW thought many processed foods don't contain enough of the zero point foods to make much of a difference. The website (paraphrasing due to copyright) 1 - foods were chosen because they lay a foundation for healthy eating patterns 2 - The are less likely to be over eaten 3 - Monitored clinical trials showed weight loss even without tracking. Maybe the processed foods that haven't been updated are not intended to be zero points.

Post by Kitty on Dec 11, 2017 23:39:57 GMT catfishbabs , In some cases that might be true. But it is often clear that it is a particular manufacturer's food that has wholesale not been updated. And, I look at the food and how it is made and it is very similar to another food from someone else that has been updated. FWIW, for most frozen food entrees that have chicken in them I think they will go down only 1 or 2 points unless they have other 0 point foods in them.

Post by debinprogress on Dec 11, 2017 23:40:32 GMT Hi Annie and everybody 👋🏻 I have been lurking on here for quite a while. I have been making a variation of a skinnytaste recipe for a few weeks.   It turns out to be 1 SP on Freestyle.  This may be a good low SP alternative to the frittatas.  Takes a little more prep time and cookiing time, but they make enough to last you for 6 days. Sausage and Veggie Omelette Cups This is a great make ahead low point, low carb, high protein breakfast. You can use whatever vegetables you like. Adapted from this skinnytaste recipe: www.skinnytaste.com/loaded-baked-omelet-muffins/ 12 eggs 1/2 cup Jimmy Dean Fully cooked turkey sausage crumbles 1/2 cup fresh spinach, chopped 1/2 cup finely diced mushrooms 4 tablespoons finely diced fresh tomatoes 4 tablespoons diced onions 1/4 cup diced bell pepper 1 tsp olive oil 2 oz reduced fat sharp cheddar (I used Aldi's Fit & Active) 1/4 tsp kosher salt 1/8 tsp black pepper 1. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Spray the muffin pan liberally with cooking spray 2. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs . Season with salt and pepper. 3. Sauté vegetables in olive oil until spinach shrinks down, and vegetables are tender. 4. Mix the cheese and sausage crumbles in with the eggs. 5. Fill and place tins on a cookie sheet and bake for 25 minutes or until set. 6. When cooled, put in pairs in ziploc bags and store in fridge. 7. To reheat, microwave for 1 minute. Makes 6 servings of 2 per serving

Old Calculators Guest	Post by Old Calculators on Jan 24, 2018 15:55:34 GMT I joined WW yesterday & was wondering why the old calculators from other WW programs wouldn't work for calculating foods on Freestyle? It still calculates the same categories as past programs....can anyone help?

It still calculates the same categories as past programs....can anyone help? A SmartPoints calculator can be used for FREEstyle because the categories are the same - we are still "doing SmartPoints" just with the addition of the FREEstyle list of zero-point foods: Calories, Saturated Fat (g), Sugar (g), Protein (g). A PointsPlus calculator cannot be used for FREEstyle because the categories are NOT the same: Total Fat (g), Carbs (g), Fiber (g), Protein (g). Welcome back to WW!

More Food, Fewer Calories?

Energy density is the key to healthy, high-volume eating

By Kathleen Zelman, MPH, RD, LD
WebMD Weight Loss Clinic - Expert Column

How would you like to eat more food and feel fuller, yet take in fewer calories?

Here's the secret: Choose foods that are low in energy density.

It may sound like weird science, but "energy density" is nothing more than the calories in a portion of food. Fruits, vegetables, legumes, and cooked grains are examples of low-energy-density foods that give you plenty of water and fiber for very few calories.

(High-density foods are the other side of the coin. These high-calorie foods tend to have less water and more fat -- which has twice as many calories as either carbohydrates or protein.)

Choosing foods that are high in water and fiber and low in density allows dieters to enjoy larger, more satisfying portions, and to lose weight without feeling hungry. For example, consider grapes vs. raisins: 100 calories of grapes is about two cups, but for the same number of calories, you only get 1/4 cup of raisins. It makes sense that two cups of grapes would be more satisfying than a few tablespoons of raisins.

How It Works

Barbara Rolls, PhD, author of Volumetrics Weight Control and professor at Pennsylvania State University, has done many studies on the concept of energy density. In a study published in the November issue of Journal of the American Dietetic Association, Rolls and colleagues found that study participants who ate a large (3-cup), low-density salad before a meal felt more satisfied and ate less total food during the meal. Those who ate a small, high-density salad with high-fat ingredients actually ate 8% more at the same meal.

Rolls suggests that having a large portion of low-energy-dense foods, like soup or salad, before meals is an effective strategy for weight control. A vegetable-based soup or salad as a first course increases fullness for very few calories, and thus can reduce your calorie intake for the entire meal.

Pump Up the Volume

You can lose weight simply by replacing high-density foods with high-volume, low-density foods like fruits and vegetables, according to a study Rolls presented last week at a meeting of the North American Society for the Study of Obesity in Las Vegas.

In the study, young women who replaced high-calorie foods with low-energy-density foods ate 800 fewer calories a day and never missed them, even with a 25% reduction in overall portion size.

We are all creatures of habit, and most of us tend to eat roughly the same volume of food each day. Here are a few easy ways to keep the volume in your diet while lowering the density (and calories):

• Choose whole-grain breads.
• Add veggies to soups, stews, egg dishes, and pizza.
• Mix fruit into salads.

Not only will eating more of these kinds of foods allow you to feel full on fewer calories, they also happen to be supernutritious!

Water Weight

The water in food is one of the ingredients that help you feel full. Fiber is another, lowering energy density by providing bulk.

Foods that have plenty of both fiber and water (fruits, vegetables, cooked cereals, brown rice) have the greatest impact on fullness. If you drink a glass of water before a meal, it will not seem as satisfying as the same amount of water incorporated into food such as soup. When combined with low-energy-density foods, water dilutes the calories and has a longer-lasting impact on satiety.

Satiety

I call it the secret sauce in weight control. Satiety is the satisfying feeling at the end of a meal that signals you have eaten enough.

Have you ever been on a diet that does not provide enough food and, as a result, you get so hungry you deviate from the plan? It happens all too often, and is the main reason diets fail.

Eating just enough food to satisfy your belly and brain is no simple task; we all sometimes overeat because food tastes so good, even when we're already full. But eating satisfying portions of low-density foods can make it a bit easier.

Whole Grains

Researchers from Harvard School of Public Health who have followed 27,000 men for the past eight years have observed that those who eat plenty of whole grains tend to weigh less.

Whole grains contain more fiber than refined grains, and have a slightly lower energy density. Eating more whole grains should allow you to be satisfied with fewer calories.

The Take-Home Message

Of course, along with produce and whole grains, lean sources of protein and healthy fats are essential to a well-balanced diet. They also contribute to satiety.

The American Cancer Society advocates 5-9 servings per day of fruits and vegetables for good health. It really is a no-brainer: eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, and choose whole-grain carbohydrates and lean dairy and protein to help protect your health, increase satiety, and aid weight loss.

If you're a vegetable-hater, slowly incorporate more veggies into your eating plan -- and before long you will be meeting the national guideline.

Beautiful Bathroom Tiles Images

The most stylish bathroom tile ideas can completely change the look and feel of your space. Let's be honest, choosing bathroom tiles is the most exciting part of designing a bathroom as it's where you can get really creative, adding color, pattern and texture. And for 2021, the tile trends and bathroom ideas in general have never been bolder or braver.

'Today's bathrooms are brimming with character, and you're just as likely to find things like pot plants, framed pictures and soft furnishings in the bathroom as anywhere else in the home.' explains Fired Earth's Creative Director, Colin Roby-Welford. 'Beautiful tiles in eye-catching designs, finishes and layouts are a key element of a bathroom's design, and there's a noticeable trend towards using more color.'

Gone are the days of all-white bathrooms, playing it safe with subway tiles or monochrome marble slabs. Tiles can be so much more interesting, with a rainbow of colors to choose from and a huge array of shapes and sizes, from scalloped, hexagonal, chevron, pencil and more.

And edges no longer have to be straight either, use these unusual shapes to create an uneven edge, adding instant texture and interest to your space. And when it comes to materials, porcelain, stone and ceramic have been joined by encaustic, terrazzo and concrete. So there's plenty of choice whatever style you are going for...

1. Get creative with colorful bathroom tile ideas

Get the look: Frozen Terra Prices start from £450/sqm, from Caesarstone.co.uk

(Image credit: Future)

The retro-style minty blue floor tiles, the baby pink hexagonal splashback, the arched mirrors, the statement lighting, need we go on? Everything in this playful pink bathroom is a total dream. It's a lesson in how to bring colorful bathroom tiles into your space without totally overwhelming it. By going halfway up one wall with pink tiling, the room doesn't look too saccharine and adding in a healthy dose of white on the walls and with the cabinetry, the space still feels fresh and modern.

2. Keep it simple with and mix tile shapes

(Image credit: Future)

Because why settle for one bathroom tile design when you can have two? Combine tiles of the same color but different layouts or finishes can really add all the interest you need to a monochrome space.

'When using all white tiles, it can be fun to play with the layout; lay tiles in horizontal lines, or in a mix of horizontal and vertical or in classic chevrons.' saysLee Thornley, founder of Bert & May says. 'We like to mix different whites, we have 4 or 5 white or grey tones and they make whites more interesting. Playing with subtle differences and chalky finishes highlights the variation. Look at glazed tiles, no two tiles are the same, slight wavy edges will always showcase the perfectly imperfect nature of our tiles and will add something extra than the standard metro tile.'

3. Add vintage vibes with a tiled mural

(Image credit: Future)

Give a modern bathroom a vintage twist with a tiled mural. In this gorgeous blue and white bathroom, the traditional design adds an elegance and depth to the otherwise quite minimalist space. By keeping the rest of the bathroom simple and paired back there's still a chic, contemporary feel to the bathroom – just that pop of yellow in the sleek wall light and the simple silhouette of the stool is enough of a nod towards modern design.

4. Clash patterned bathroom tile ideas

(Image credit: Future)

Gold, deep emerald green and marble are always going to look gorgeous when paired together, as this bathroom proves. But there's more to take from this space than its inspiring bathroom color ideas. See how the green runs through both tiles creating a cohesive feel, but the patterns create a glorious clash?

5. Go half and half

(Image credit: Future)

Loving the vintage, quirky feel of this small powder room, the decor really packs a punch, despite the tiny dimensions.

Be inspired by this bathroom tile idea and add some extra height to a small bathroom by splitting the room with different tiles. In this space for example, to go all over with that gorgeous rustic subtle patterned tile may risk the room feeling small, but by bringing in that simple white tile, those darker colors are lifted and the space isn't overwhelmed.

6. Opt for larger tiles in a small bathroom

(Image credit: Alexander James)

Small bathroom, small tiles, right? Wrong, small, fussy tiles with lots of grout lines can actually make your space feel smaller. Instead, opt for larger tiles that won't visually break up the space. And if you have fallen for small tiles, just choose a grout that's a close match so you'll still get that lovely texture but your wall tiles won't be so busy they totally overwhelm the bathroom.

7. Combine tiles with wallpaper

(Image credit: Rowland Roques O'Neil)

Excuse us while we go and copy this exact bathroom tile idea in our own bathrooms. Wallpapering ceilings is nothing new, it's been a popular trend for years now, but there's something about the meeting of those glossy green subway tiles and palm print bathroom wallpaper that we cannot resist. Pair all those lovely lush greens with white floor tiles to create the perfect amount of contrast and choose brass or gold sanitaryware to add a touch of warmth.

8. Embrace the trend for mosaic bathroom tile ideas

(Image credit: Future)

Between the cute monochrome penny tiles, the rustic marble subway tiles and the addition of greenery and wooden accent, what this bathroom lacks in color it's more than making up for in texture. The intricacy of the mosaic bathroom flooring adds the perfect amount of interest to this minimalist bathroom  – and while we are loving the hotel vibe of the flower print, you can create so many shapes with these tiny tiles from dramatic stripes to letters.

9. Expand a small bathroom with wall to wall tiles

(Image credit: Alexander James)

Floor to ceiling tiling might sound a bit... clinical but in smaller space, using the same tile on all four walls can stretch space visually, plus it's of course the most practical choice for a wet room or walk in shower.

As this bathroom proves, you can't go wrong with a metro tile if you are tiling all over. Pick a glossy finish over matte, as they will help bounce more light around the room and combine them with a bold patterned floor tile to give the room some depth.

10. Create drama with shiny black tiles

(Image credit: Alexander James)

Nothing adds drama like a glossy black tile. Keep it simple and let the finish be the focus by choosing a simple square tile and grid layout. If you want the tiles to appear more like one continuous, shimmering wall, opt for a black grout and for a more statement look try a contrasting white grout.

Can we also acknowledge those floor tiles too? You just can't go wrong with a black and white chevron.

11. Add warmth with natural stone bathroom tiles

(Image credit: James Merrell)

Bathroom tile ideas don't always have to be about creating a bold feature in your bathroom. In this bathroom, the orange-tined stone wall tiles aren't the focal point but they do add a lovely warmth to the space and work perfectly with the brown tones of the bath, rug and brass accessories. There's a really cozy, cocooning feel here that you don't often find in modern bathrooms, but it's a scheme that would be perfect if you are after ensuite ideas.

12. Match tiles to bold paint colors

(Image credit: Paul Craig)

Use bathroom tiles to add vibrancy to a simple sleek bathroom by opting for color on the walls, while keeping it simple on the floors. And rather go all over with bold tiles, create some contrast with all that texture by painting a wall or a section of a wall to match the tile.

We love the deep sea-green hue of these tiles, and how that same hue is brought onto the adjacent wall using paint rather than more tiles. It makes the wall of tiles stand out as a feature, complimenting it but not drawing away attention.

13. Choose brick tiles to create a rustic

(Image credit: Jonathan West)

Brick tiles or brick slips are wonderful things, they mean you can achieve that lovely textured, rustic effect of exposed brick without having to pull away layers of plaster. And brick isn't just reserved for walls, in this bathroom brick tiles arranged in a herringbone pattern complete the rustic feel going on in the rest of this bathroom. But, that's not to say brick tiles wouldn't work in a more modern space, we can so imagine how gorgeous they would look in an all-white bathroom paired with large marble tiles.

14. Go for a twist on traditional

(Image credit: James Merrell)

A total classic, the checkerboard floor has a long, varying history in the world of interiors, gracing the floors of everything from elegant Victorian hallways to American diners. And while they may have had a bit of rap when they went through the vinyl phrase, checkerboard flooring can be a stylish additional to ant style of bathroom.

Just look at this bathroom. Paired with simple white metro tiles and a leafy wallpaper, the black and white colorway adds the perfect amount of pattern.

15. Take floor tiles up to dado height

(Image credit: Matthew Williams)

Fallen hard for a patterned tile that you just don't think your bathroom can cope with on all four walls? Try out this bathroom tile idea and just tile a third or halfway up your wall. Keep the upper half neutral so the tiles are still the focus and keep the floor tiles simple too.

16. Pick metro tiles for a classic look

(Image credit: James Merrell)

There's a reason metro tile ideas are so popular, they are so versatile, work with any style and are endlessly fashionable.

As Colin Roby-Welford, creative director of Fired Earth says, 'Brick-shaped metro tiles never go out of fashion but you can ensure that they look fresh and modern by using layouts such as basketweave designs or herringbone patterns as alternatives to a more traditional brickbond format. Think about using the tiles across countertops and bath surrounds too – as well as walls and floors – to create a seamless and contemporary wet-room effect.'

How to choose the best bathroom tiles for a bathroom

One of the most exciting things about a bathroom renovation is picking out tiles, but with so many to choose from, it can be daunting to decide.

'When choosing bathroom tiles, think about the experience you want to create in your bathroom.' advises Russell Whitehead and Jordan Cluroe of 2LG Studio. 'For example, whether you want to have a spa-like setting or a practical space that sets you up for the day in a positive mood.'

Colors have a big effect on your mood – and while subdued hues are a safe option as they are easier to live with, brighter colors create impact and can leave us feeling energized. Explore tiles in different shades, formats and finishes to find the perfect combination for your bathroom vision.

To see if the tiles you're drawn towards work for your space, bring home several full-size samples and set them out in your bathroom, against your chosen paints and other testers, so you can judge how the format works in your room as well as appreciate the finish and color under your bathroom lights. If you have enough, you can also play with the layout to find the best pattern for your space.

On a practical note, don't forget to check that the walls will take the weight of the tiles and enquire with your retailer about weather sealing is required and the tile's suitability with regards to slip rating and underfloor heating.

Trends-wise, although we're seeing an increase in the use of coloured tiles, light, neutral and muted shades are still the most popular choices. Amanda Telford, marketing manager at CTD Tiles advises, 'As we enter 2021, we will continue to see lots of unusual textures and patterned tile designs making bold feature walls and floors. Wood and stone effect tiles are popular, with the latest designs perfecting the look of the original material while experimenting with a more decorative approach. Texture is a also big trend with textile-like woven finishes and nature-inspired grains and concrete-effect surfaces.'

What is the most popular tile for bathrooms?

Recent data shows that metro tiles remain the number one searched for a keyword when it comes to bathroom tiles, and it's hardly a surprise. They are a real multifunctional choice, and can add a stylish touch to bathrooms or kitchens.

What are the bathroom tile trends for 2021?

The most popular bathroom tile looks for 2021 include rectangular tiles in herringbone or chevron formations, hexagonal tiles with geometric patterns, mini hexagonal tiles to create a honeycomb effect, classic marble tiles, and unusual shapes as seen here.

What is an affordable but chic bathroom tile option?

Porcelain tiles are the perfect affordable alternative to expensive marble looks and on-trend concrete. Thanks to advantages in technology, digital printing has allowed porcelain tiles to be produced with a 'natural' variation from tile to tile; just as you would see on the actual stone.

This reproduction is so accurate that these imitation porcelain tiles are now often indistinguishable from the real thing. This makes it possible to achieve the look you want at a lower cost and without the challenges and maintenance issues that come with materials such as marble, limestone and polished concrete.
