Clarifications on contest rules and food

I want to clarify some things to make sure everyone understands.  You earn exercise points on a daily basis.  You can earn up to 20 points a day.  I highly recommend you get in 5 days a week.  If you miss a day, you just wouldn't get points for that day.  Good food points are for protein, carbohydrates, fruits and veggies.  I used the word whole grains and carbs interchangeably on the point explanation, my mistake.  You do get good food points for eating your fruits and veggies and additional points for getting in your 5+ fruits and veggies, so fruit and veggies do count twice.  This is to encourage you to eat your fruits and veggies.  You will also get additional points for the one raw veggie and more veggies than fruit.  Easy way to get your points.  Beans are considered a protein and a carb, but are on the carb list.  Sugar Cereal would be classified as anything that is not whole grain, has sugar as the first ingredient, and/or high fructose corn syrup in the first 3 ingredients, but best to avoid that one all together.  I understand that the cereal list does not list every possible cereal.  So for you to count your cereal as a good carb for points it needs to contain as it's first ingredient whole oat flour, whole wheat flour or whole grain corn and not be a sugar cereal. I hope this makes sense.  Don't be afraid to ask more questions if you need to.
