It doesn't matter what you cook your eggs with or in. Because eggs are a ZeroPoint foods, they do not have any Points™ values—even in a cake recipe. Other ingredients you're adding to your eggs may have Points, however, so make sure to track them.

However, WeightWatchers makes it clear that no foods are off-limits and members can eat their favorite snacks and desserts as long as they stay within their designated Points.

Every day, you're given a point allowance that you can “spend” on whatever foods you want. But there are also a large variety of ZeroPoint foods that you can eat as much as you want of.

That means if you previously had brown rice, or avocado, or wheat pasta, or potatoes as ZeroPoints, those will no longer be zero. That doesn't mean you can't eat them anymore (you can use your Points allowance however you like!), but you will have to count points for them.

A 1-cup serving of cooked, regular pasta has 5 PointsPlus values, and the same amount of whole wheat pasta comes in at 4 PointsPlus values.
