Okay this is going to be difficult because I cannot be jumping on the computer each time I have an idea but this was important! If you are new to this I hope you will appreciate my hints! I would suggest to EVERYONE to get a digital food scale! I know they say so many oz. is the size of your thumb, fist, palm etc... but you really have no idea unless you get a food scale. And since so many points can come from meat, and for the most part in the recipes you are only allowed 2-3 oz per serving, going over an oz or 2 can really affect your point count!
Ok, on this note, I think it is a good time to mention ground turkey! It is a wonderful alternative to ground beef. It has less points per serving and if you incorporate it into your meals slowly (i did half and half for awhile before we switched) even your kids or husband won't notice!
