I've had some inquiries about how many points is needed for pregnancy. This is how I figured it out:
Here's the target range for normal weight LOSS:
Weight Points
000 – 149 = 20
150 – 174 = 22
175 – 199 = 24
200 – 224 = 26
225 – 249 = 28
250 – 274 = 30
275 – 299 = 31
300 – 324 = 32
325 – 349 = 33
350 – 999 = 34
I took my weight when I found out I was pregnant which was 140 and started with those points (20) Then added another 4 pts as though I were on maintenance. THEN added 6 pts (roughly 300 calories) which is what doctors recommend adding to your daily calories when pregnant. So 20+6+4 pts=30 pts per day. I eat all my flex and activity points too. And if I'm out of points and still hungry- I eat. :)
There you have it!
