WW Points Calculator

Choose PointsPlus or SmartPoints, enter nutrition label values, and compute Weight Watchers points for any food item or recipe.

PointsPlus Value

4.7 pts

Inputs used

  • Protein (g): 15
  • Carbs (g): 20
  • Fat (g): 6
  • Fiber (g): 5

How to Use This Calculator

1

Choose the WW system you follow

PointsPlus relies on macronutrients (carbs, protein, fat, fibre). SmartPoints uses calories, protein, sugar, and saturated fat.

2

Read nutrition labels carefully

Input grams from the serving size you consume. Adjust entries for multiple servings or recipes divided into portions.

3

Record points in your tracker

Add the calculated points to your daily WW tracker to stay within your allowance while planning meals.

Formula

PointsPlus = (Protein ÷ 10.94) + (Carbs ÷ 9.17) + (Fat ÷ 3.89) − (Fibre ÷ 12.49)

SmartPoints = (Calories × 0.0305) + (Sat fat × 0.275) + (Sugar × 0.12) − (Protein × 0.098)

  • Formulas are WW approximations derived from program documentation and community research.
  • Zero-point foods in WW are not reflected; manually adjust if recipe contains WW zero-point items.
  • Round up to the nearest whole point for official tracking consistency.

Full Description

Weight Watchers assigns points to foods to simplify calorie and macronutrient tracking. Foods higher in calories and saturated fat carry more points, while protein-rich foods are incentivised. This calculator makes it easy to convert nutrition facts into the WW system you follow, whether legacy PointsPlus or current SmartPoints.

Use zero-point foods and meal planning to stretch your daily allowance. For recipes, enter totals for the entire dish and divide by servings to get accurate points per portion.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do my WW app points differ slightly?

Official algorithms round differently and may factor in zero-point ingredients. Use this calculator for close estimates, then verify in the app.

Do fibre grams reduce SmartPoints?

SmartPoints does not subtract fibre explicitly. High-fibre foods often have fewer calories or more protein, indirectly lowering points.

How do I handle recipes?

Add all ingredients, compute totals, then divide the final point value by the number of servings. Round up per WW guidelines.

Can I track both systems?

Yes, but stick with one program for consistency. Use PointsPlus if following older materials, SmartPoints for current WW plans.
