I think I've been doing mine wrong 
Tesco Thick Pork Sausages:
On the label it says 2 grilled = 190 cals & 4.4 sat fat (works out at 4 points)
The database says the exact same food is 3 points per portion
If its right I've been going over my points since the start

a lot of basic foods such as sausage vary a lot between brands, so look for the lowest cal/fat when you buy. Be sad and stare at labels 
Because of this huge variation the basic lists of foods can't be right for all the different brands, as they're not the same.
So you can guess whether somethings good or bad points in general by looking at the cals and saturated fat, and if you can b bothered, compare brands. If in doubt over-estimate thing's points, then you'll be pleasantly surprised at the weigh-in.
When I did weightwatchers 'properly' a couple of years ago, in my first week I lost 7lb, I was not not eating but I had over-guessed what points things were. By the end of the week though I was ready for a binge through hatred of the extremely beige food
the next week I realised I could be a bit more laid back so the diet was more bearable for the next few weeks
