The number of Points provided here has been calculated by Lindsay Nixon based on published Weight Watchers International, Inc. information and does not imply sponsorship or endorsement of such number of Points or of this book, or recipes contained in this book, by Weight Watchers International. The PointsPlus value calculator on www.weightwatchers.com was used to determine the Points per serving in this cookbook. No guarantee of accuracy or warranty is given for these calculations and estimates.

Nutritional information for each recipe was computed using caloriecount.com. Each analysis provided is per serving. Unless otherwise noted, optional ingredients are not included, and when a recipe calls for multiple amounts, e.g. three to four garlic cloves, the lesser amount is computed. For nondairy milk, unsweetened almond milk was used in the calculation. Breads and buns are not included in the nutritional analysis (see packaging for that information), with the exception of wraps in the Bowls and Wraps section. Sodium content is also not included because values are significantly different between brands and because the calculator tools have too much discrepancy with sodium values to provide a safe and reliable estimate.
