Want a POINTS calculator Excel spreadsheet ?

[KathyTX]

If anybody would like it, PM me your email address and I'll send it to you.

It's just a small sheet. You type in Calories, Fat grams, and Fiber grams and it calculates the Points.

(I know, kinda geeky. But there's a thread asking about calculating points, and I started pondering it in traffic on the drive home. Then it became a little puzzle I had to solve, and next thing I know I'm sitting here putting it together.

I guess I'm just a nerd girl at heart.)

That sounds cool, Kathy! I'd love to have a copy. I'm pm'ing you now!

Thanks, Kathy. That points post was mine. I'm going to PM you.

Nice of me to give you something to think about in traffic, huh? I'll see what I can come up with for tomorrow.

To answer a question about the calculations I used:

calorie points = calories / 50
fat points = fat grams * .08333
fiber points = fiber grams * .2

calorie pts + fat pts - fiber pts = total points


I think these are right. I got the numbers by studying the points slider-thingy to see how they do it. If anybody has a better way to do this or thinks I should use different numbers, please let me know!

This has already been a handy little tool for me. I have it on my computer at work, so I can figure points even when I don't have my slider handy.
