Wait...You're Doing What With Healthi???

 A post or two back I mentioned I was giving the Healthi app another try using the Better Balance plan (old Freestyle/Blue).  I also mentioned that I was adding the new items that WW has added to the zero point list on their plan (potatoes, lean meats, oatmeal).  Why?

I was very excited with the additions to the zero list without losing any daily points!

On the current WW plan my daily points are 23.  On Better Balance my daily points are 23 (as they were with Freestyle/Blue).  The only difference I can see is that Better Balance uses the smart points equation to calculate points where the new WW plan uses a different one; and I really don't think that there is a huge difference in the point calculation to make it a big deal.

But don't potatoes, lean meats and oatmeal show up pointed in the Healthi app?

Yes they do.  You have two choices here: you can just add the items as a quick add at zero points OR you can toggle them zero.  Toggle?

Round Steak is on the zero list at WW.  So on the Healthi app, let's search for Round Steak:

Above is a list of results.  It's irrelevant which one I choose as I'm going to make it a zero point food.  So let's click the first one:

Now I'm going to scroll down the entry where I will see macros, nutritional information:

At the bottom of the nutritional information is a toggle button with 0 BITES Food next to it. I'm going to slide that button over to the right.

As you can see, the slide area turns blue changing the food to a 0 bites entry.

If you scroll back up - you'll see 0 Bites for the item.  Go ahead and track it!

It appears as zero under dinner on the tracker!

Now, let's say a few days later; I'm having round steak again.  So I search for it:

The very first entry says 0 BITES!!!  It saved that for me!

So how do I know what to zero out and what not to?  My WW membership is good until the end of the month.  I went to the WW website and downloaded the Program Brochure.  It gives a complete list of zero point foods on pages 18 & 19.

Just a little trick you may find helpful.
