Please Note: the fastest way to get to output is to enter the numbers and hit TAB after each one. For example, when you load the page, the cursor is already in the calories text box, so you could type: 2-0-0-TAB-6-TAB-3-TAB and see that 200 calories, 6 fat grams, and 3 fiber grams calculates to 4 points.

Don't know the number of calories/fat/fiber for your food? Try to see if it's on this list

Number of calories: / 50
+ Number of total fat grams: / 12
- Number of dietary fiber grams: / 5

Please fill in the input values above.

NEW! Due to getting the request a lot, there is now an activity points page available to help you calculate those.

NOTE: this is the American version of the Points formula. The UK version uses a different formula (see here for a discussion indicating them)

Weight Watchers Points

(from peer trainer)

The Weight Watchers points premise is simple. Everyone on the plan is assigned a certain amount of points depending on their weight. Daily points ranges are as follows:

  • less than 150 pounds: 18 to 23 points
  • 150 to 174lbs: 20 to 25 points
  • 175 to 199lbs: 22 to 27 points
  • 200 to 224lbs: 24 to 29 points
  • 225 to 249lbs: 26 to 31 points
  • 250 to 274lbs: 28 to 33 points
  • 275 to 299lbs: 29 to 34 points
  • 300 to 324lbs: 30 to 35 points
  • 325 to 349lbs: 31 to 36 points
  • over 350lbs: 32 to 37 points

To lose weight, dieters must stay within their points range, though 35 additional points are allowed to be spread out through the week. Points can also be added or subtracted dependant on exercise. Many people prefer the Weight Watchers Flex Point program as it allows them more freedom than other diets, and they can eat just about anything they like as long as they stay within their range.
