PS Lorelei, if you eat "better," you won't have any points left at the end of the day, hahaha. The problem with the program is we tend to focus on those zero point foods, which also have calories by the way, and then add to that all the processed stuff we really like. Which stalls weight gain and fuels cravings and binge behavior. At least it did for me. So, easy does it, don't try to do everything all at once.

It's not so much what to replace it with, it's what to do with the extra points after replacing. The potatoes would be 16 points, as opposed to the cauliflower which would be 4. That gives me 12 extra points that I don't know what to do with. I was curious if people added more snacks into their day, or what they did with their extra points after they changed things around. I'm not hungry, so it's not like I'm swapping to give me more options to keep me full or add extra things to eat. I just figured if it's so high in points, maybe I shouldn't be eating as much of it. Ha ha!

Lorelei - good for you in wanting to have healthier options! I agree with everything Lora and Andi suggested.
Do you like coffee? If so, and if you HAVE to consume all the points you are allotted, I would have some kind of latte or something. I make a mixture each morning of 1/2 c milk, 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk or cashew milk, 1 c coffee, a packet of pure stevia, 1 teaspoon coconut oil, and sprinkle cinnamon, ginger, & cloves or nutmeg. I drink this hot and love it...often it is all I have for breakfast. The coconut oil would give you points and the milks would give you some calcium.
