Nutritional information is based on all information available to me at the time of publication. I now calculate points using the 2005 Weight Watchers information. Verify that your ingredients yield the same results. I usually choose to use light rather than nonfat products. Some items, such as cheddar, I use the normal product as noted, as my preference. Optional ingredients are not included in the calculation of calories or points.
