OH NO!!!!!!!!!!

I thought it was 2 pt's per packet (and have been happy muching a pack and I think I was wrong and it's 5.5 pt's per pack

arghhhhhhh no wonder my weight loss is so slow!! I love the spicy one! and I always have my pt's so I have been 3.5pt over on the days I have this so over last week (looking back at tracker) I have it 4 days which it 14 pt's

Oh no - poor you, I take it you just read portion size? Argh!

Apparently it is 5.5pts per 100g dried couscous (I count it the same as pasta - 1pt per 20g). And Ainsley's will have flavouring/additives so I'm sorry but 5 pts does sound more accurate.

Ah well - good job you noticed!

What flavour is that? The ww online calculator told me it was 2.5 points per half a made up pack of Moroccon Medley!

I had this problem too!!! ITs not clear on the packet at all that a pack is 2 servings, took me ages to suss it out!!!!

I point the ones I have had at 2.5 per half pack.
