Meg, it's worth the points. I also substituted canola oil for vegitable oil.

Posted by Redmond (aka REDMOND) Jan 14 '09, 17:38

I would imagine it's high in points though. Although if you make it as a snack for a few friends, you won't be eating that much of it.

That reminds me, I joined WW again just after Christmas. I'm down 4.4 pounds so far. - Subversive Jan 14, 18:10 10
- Does WW have a plan for someone burning 600-800 calories daily from exercise? I gained 10 pounds over the holidays. - Redmond Jan 14, 18:20 2
  - You earn points for exercise which you can eat that same day if you choose to. -- nm - Subversive Jan 14, 18:26 1
    - Are you doing the online WW or the in person one? -- nm - Redmond Jan 14, 18:31
- Yay you!!! I'm looking towards goal sometime in March...and then lifetime membership. -- nm - MojaveMeg Jan 14, 18:19 4
  - Is this a "meeting" membership? Do you go somewhere, or is it just meal delivery and self-discipline? -- nm - CrankYanker Jan 14, 18:22 3
    - I have the meeting membership as I need the discipline. They also offer an online program. No meals provided, just the information on the best way - MojaveMeg Jan 14, 18:28 2
      - I remember my wife was on this. And her trick for a sweet tooth was tootsie roll pops at 1 point. - Redmond Jan 14, 18:32 1
        
        Points are based on a ratio of calories/fiber/fat. For that same 1 point you could have 5 cups of low fat popcorn. -- nm - MojaveMeg Jan 14, 18:46
- Edit TT's biggest loser on the twiki! -- nm - mara Jan 14, 18:14 1
  - Done! -- nm - Subversive Jan 14, 18:21
The WWatchers site rates 1/4 at 6 points. That's generally what I budget for a full meal :) -- nm - MojaveMeg Jan 14, 17:55 1
- Just use a smaller onion :P -- nm - Redmond Jan 14, 18:00
fwiw, i've seen recipes for baked/healthier versions. no idea how they turn out, though. -- nm - b! Jan 14, 17:48
I wiki'd it. canola is an abbreviation for: CANadian Oil Low Acid -- nm - peglegpete Jan 14, 17:44 10
- It's not from the canola plant? *blink* *blink* -- nm - ReluctantCynic Jan 14, 20:02
- I thought there was also another meaning for that. - the liioulu back here Jan 14, 18:02 3
  - I would go with your instincts there. -- nm - Reagen Jan 14, 18:06 2
    - I do, I've had the weirdest arguments with my sister about this. - the liioulu back here Jan 14, 18:13 1
      - There are an incredible number of truly crazy myths spread about canola oil. -- nm - Reagen Jan 14, 18:15
- Isn't it just called that because people would get all squeeged out by its true name? - Trish Jan 14, 17:56 4
  - Voldemort? -- nm - nubby Jan 14, 18:12
  - That's part of it, but canola is technically different than rapeseed. - Reagen Jan 14, 18:06 1
    - I think it smells heavenly. ;) - Trish Jan 14, 18:11
  - I also read that, and yes the plant name would turn off most people -- nm - peglegpete Jan 14, 18:01
