The Weight Watchers points system is a simplified approach to tracking food intake that assigns values to foods based on their nutritional content. Rather than counting calories, you track points, which makes it easier to make healthier food choices without complex calculations.

Weight Watchers points are values assigned to foods based on their nutritional content. The system is designed to help people make healthier food choices by encouraging nutrient-dense, lower-calorie foods while limiting foods high in sugar and saturated fat. Different formulas are used in various regions (US, UK, EU, Australia).
Weight Watchers points are calculated using formulas that consider calories, protein, carbohydrates, sugar, saturated fat, and fiber content. The exact formula varies by region and program version. For example, the US SmartPoints formula is: (calories × 0.0305) + (sugar × 0.12) + (saturated fat × 0.275) - (protein × 0.098).
No, Weight Watchers points calculations vary by region. The US uses SmartPoints, while the UK and Australia use different formulas. Even within regions, formulas have evolved over time (PointsPlus, Points, Freestyle). This calculator includes all major regional variations for accurate calculations.
Your daily points target depends on your age, weight, height, gender, and activity level. Most people receive between 23-35 points per day. This calculator provides personalized daily points targets based on your specific metrics and the Weight Watchers formula for your region.
Zero-point foods are nutrient-dense foods that you can eat without tracking. These typically include fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and other healthy options. The specific list varies by program but is designed to encourage consumption of healthy foods without the burden of tracking.
