I hope you enjoy this Weight Watchers Points calculator. If you are on the Weight Watchers plan, it's a quick way for you to figure out Points which in turn helps you stay on track with your goal to lose weight and enjoy a successful diet by selecting the correct food. The formula used here was obtained from public sources but it is not an "official" WW calculator.
Basically a few members of my family were on the Weight Watchers program awhile back. They liked it and lost a bunch of weight on the program. They agreed with me that the points system itself makes the difference. It makes planning meals and everyday eating very flexible and fairly easy to stick with long term. They wanted a convenient way to calculate Weight Watchers points online via my website, so I created the calculator on this page.
Not having to eliminate favorite foods was a big plus, though some foods did "cost" them a lot of points ;-) We had mixed thoughts on regular meetings but agreed that in general, having a built-in support system was a good thing.
Given the importance of points, we discovered that it was very helpful to have pre-calculated recipes with LOW points already factored in. Such recipes are available in various cookbooks such as the useful Weight Watchers New Complete Cookbook.
That's about it - and again I hope you find this Weight Watchers points calculator useful.
