weightwatchers points

belfastgal

could we get a thread going for weightwatchers points....I can't be the only one going to weightwatchers on this site and I am so struggling because i dont know the points for so many things I eat......i have just joined and finding it really hard...maybe we could all help each other with suggestions on how to get the most from our miserly 18 points etc ?????

There were some long long threads about weightwatchers and similar a while ago, I don't know where they are now though......... someone might remember where to look! :rudolf:

Hi belfastgal,

I havent come across any specific weightwatchers threads but there is a thread where users encourage each other here and another where you can find the slimming world online password here.

I use to be with weight watchers and still have a few word documents with points on them, for things like chocolates and some take away shops, if you want it

Or I could simply post them here.

To calculate the WW points take the calories (kcal) for the portion of food you want and divide by 70, then take the saturated fat (also for the portion) and divide by 4. Add these 2 number together and round to the nearest 0.5. This is the number of points. So you don’t have to buy their calculator to work out the points for foods not listed.

So kcal/70 plus saturated fat/4.

Hope that helps someone
