Cheat Sheet: The Better Breakfast Builder

Even if you’re the oatmeal-and-apple-every-day type, you might learn a thing or two from our handy guide to the most important meal of the day. If you tend to switch up your breakfasts, you’ll see how tiny swaps can make a big difference when it comes to your Daily PointsPlus Allowance.

Simply browse the categories, and click on the foods you most enjoy. The PointsPlus values of each item will be displayed in the subtotal box, and the PointsPlus value of your entire meal will appear at the top of the page.
