from Nutripoints book {1991}
I don't think foods have changed much from when they did the calculations for arrive at these food "scores". high score is a good thing - so best food choices are at the top of the list veggies- highest to lowest turnip greens chopped/cooked=79 spinach raw= 75 {see e coli warning thread} bok choy raw /shredded = 72 mustard greens cooked =65 spinach whole leaf -frozen =57 beet greens cooked = 56 parsley fresh =54 I just noticed the serving sizes are different for some- getting complicated - I'll just list the more mainstream foods and if anyone wants to know any specific food I can look it up- other wise it's a lot of typing veggies- high to low points rating spinach broccoli romaine lettuce asparagus peppers sweet red cauliflower Brussels sprouts cabbage green pepper carrots lettuce - butter head, Boston , bibb mushrooms loose leaf lettuce tomato radish peas n carrots frz mix squash butternut Last edited by Jomar; 05-21-2008 at 12:47 PM.

At first I thought the first foods on the list were the bad ones. Then I thought they were the good ones. (to eat) Now I'm corn-fused--moreso than normal. I would like to follow the list. That's what I need actually. I can look up what's better and best to eat. The lazy thing again. Is there an order like that? I'm sure I'm just missing it. But maybe I like being befuddled with Biz, SO THERE! Hugs, LS |

sorry abut the confusion- i was trying to save myself some typing by not putting all the numbers.
In this book they have figured out a way to add & subtract the good and bad points of foods to arrive at a points rating. { the numbers} so a high number is good low number bad Their idea is to aim for the highest points score each day. but things I didn't list like fatty foods, junk foods, sugars, ect all have negative numbers. so you would add up the good and then add the negatives and subtract for your daily total score. did that explain it better? I never got that deep into it- but used the good foods as my main choices and limited the bad- I didn't do all the counting and math-yuck if you want -I can go back and add the points in between- was getting tired of typing and wanted to get the foods listed before I took a break. PS- I did drink 5 glasses of water today!! and lots of carrot sticks!! did some yardwork and walked up and down the hill with the dogs. here's a top 50 foods list link http://weightloss.about.com/od/eatsm...bltopfoods.htm Last edited by Jomar; 09-28-2006 at 12:20 AM. |

Jo~
NOW I have it!! So the good foods ARE at the top of the list then! They get progressively worse as they go down. Heavens no, I don't see a need to do all of the numbers! I was gonna be mean and say yeah, that would be awesome, and maybe even type out calories and stuff, but thought you'd have a heart attack and it would be MY fault. And besides, I'm too tired...... Good girl! You had a GREAT day today!! It feels good, doesn't it? You didn't overdo with the dogs though, did you? Sometimes I do that--go gung ho, then the next day I feel like gung went!!! That just CAN'T be tomorrow!! I have a friend coming for lunch. Don't even THINK about that collar BC!! I didn't do as well on the water, only 3, but it's getting there. Baby steps. OK, my bed's calling my name, so it's time. Hugs, LS |
