If I Eat Two Servings of Beans That Total 1 Weight Watchers Point Per Serving Am I Consuming 4 Points?

Just an example; Pinto beans add up to 1 weight watchers point per 8 oz serving. If I want a little more how do I determine the points value? or if I get weak and eat two 1 point snack cakes, If I do the calculator do I double all the calories, fiber and fat or is it still just 2 points.

Do not multiply the points, multiply the nutritional information. Most times it will come out the same but think about fat free cool whip. It is a no point value item assuming you eat one or two servings a day. However, if you eat a whole tub of fat free cool whip do you think that is still zero points? Definitely not!
2 points
When consuming more than one serving of an item you must take the nutrition info for one serving and multiply those numbers by the number of servings that you are consuming. So if you are having 2 servings, double the calories, fat and fiber and then use those numbers to calculate the points.
To be safe you’d want to use the nutritional information added up for two servings, make the conversion to WW points and see what it comes to. It all depends on the variables of cals, fat and fiber and where they fall into the spectrum for each WW point so your two servings of beans may well still come to two points but you won’t know for sure until you recalculate it all.
