WWP Calculators
Note: These are just a beta versions, I haven’t tested them on many browsers. If you have a problem using it please let me know.
I used WW public information to create theseCalculators. Weight Watchers owns the formula and points system. This is just a tool that I use based on materials Weight Watchers has published. I am not claiming ownership of points or charging people for using this tool. I am not responsible if it does not work or if you do not lose weight. I was more successful going to Weight Watcher Meetings and I recommend you attend to aid your weight loss efforts.
The points may be slightly different then found on your material considering the decimal places.

What's Cooking in my kitchen?

Finally my first Farro idea! I have to say, I love this stuff! It's chewy and yummy and, well, fun! I tossed it with what I could find in my pantry and it made a wonderfully satisfying lunch. Filling but not heavy, tasty and quite nutrient dense. According to NutritionData.com this [...] -
I've seen it mentioned in a few of my clean eating and healthy cook books but honestly, I never even thought of Farro as an option for me. I refuse to shop at specialty stores and I try to use only common products that I can keep in stock and purchase from a typical grocery [...] -
I've never had a tuna melt. Is that weird? I guess that's what happens when you grow up not liking mayonnaise. I never ate tuna salad or egg salad or chicken salad. Honestly, they always kind of grossed me out. Then I realized.. hey.. why does tuna salad have [...] -
I have no idea where this idea came from. I was hungry. It was lunch. I had Brussels Sprouts. That was all the catalyst I needed.:) I decided to use a slice of real bacon to add flavor and little fat that would help sauté the sprouts. I'm trying [...] -
WOW was this good. I mean seriously good. It's not vegetarian so don't start throwing stones. I'm calling it a Garden Vegetable Burger because I use the new Laughing Cow Smooth Sensations Garden Vegetable Cream Cheese Spread. It was this recipe on Allrecipes.com that inspired [...] -
I drink water 99.9% of the time but every so often it just doesn't cut it. I want something else. Something more. Something slightly sweet. Today was one of those days. I decided to make a refreshing drink based on the famous Arnold Palmer, half lemonade and half iced [...] -
The other day I made a whole chicken on the grill in pieces. It was delicious! Just a little BBQ sauce and an open flame is all I need to make The Husband happy in the dinner department. I also picked up a few ears of corn from the grocery store. They aren't in season [...] -
Let me explain so you don't think I'm making a chili recipe and just put it on pizza. I'm calling this vegetarian Chili Pizza because chili is what inspired flavors. I think I told you. Little Bean is really into, well, BEANS! We go through a can about every 2 days. Yesterday [...] -
I've confessed my inability to follow recipes here on GreenLiteBites many, many times. I don't know why it's so hard for me. I can barely follow some of my own and I wrote the darn things! I think most of my problem stems from not having all the ingredients listed and, [...] -
Leftover brown rice and leftover sauce meet in this quick lunch idea inspired by my favorite food of all time: Pizza. I swear I can turn anything into a pizza concoction. Have you seen all my pizza ideas? I've used everything from pumpkin to zucchini, polenta to wontons. Nothing is off [...] -
This isn't a recipe just an idea I had to share. I can't believe how good it was! I've never had grilled pineapple. Can you believe it? I just never really had the desire to grill it before. When you love something raw sometimes it doesn't occur to you to cook it. [...] -
I whipped this up for lunch on a whim today because, well, I have a baby who's obsessed with three things… Cheese, Beans, and Avocado. No, really. Look... It's my go to meal for him so I find myself with beans and avocado readily available. [...] -
You know that tradition 7 Layer Mexican Dip? The one with the cream cheese, guacamole, salsa, lettuce, cheese, green onion and olives? Yea. That's the one. Well I had a craving for it the other day. Well, not exactly for it as I can never make anything the way it's suppose [...] -
If you go through the archives of GreenLiteBites I have about 5 total beef recipes. Five. Compare that to the 80+ I have tagged with chicken/turkey there's a clear winner in the meat department on my blog and in my home. I don't have a beef with beef (omg The Husband [...] -
I'm a kitchen sink smoothie maker. Whatever I have on hand goes in the blender and viola! A quick breakfast or a healthy snack. Last year I posted an "Elastic Approach" to how I make smoothies but I still like to share specific combinations that worked really well. This was one [...] -
The other night it was just the kids and I home for dinner and I decided to make what I wanted to make no holds barred. Without The Husband home it's much easier for some reason. Hmmm wonder why? Ok, not here to husband bash.. really.. I'm not! I'm here [...] -
*sigh* I was really hoping to share an awesome turkey burger idea. I had grand plans for my leftover ground turkey. The results was alright but they could have been so much better. I added diced pineapple, red pepper, green pepper, oats and soy sauce to the meat and formed 2 patties. In hindsight I [...] -
I made this on a total whim yesterday having no idea if it would work. To my surprise it did AND the husband actually said he liked it... UNSOLICITED! Here's the story. I had only 4 tilapia fillets defrosted for dinner. I knew it wasn't going to be enough for us [...] -
This is a slight reboot of a recipe I posted last year simply called Sweet Potato and Black Bean Chili. Staying true to my use-what-I-have-on-hand roots I, well, used what I had on hand and made a similar dish with a spicy twist. Topping the result with avocado added a cool creaminess that [...] -
Did you hear? The Laughing Cow recently launched Smooth Sensations a line of 5 cream cheese spreads. There's Classic Cream, Classic Cream Light, Strawberries & Cream, Garden Vegetable and my favorite… Cinnamon. It's a sweet wedge of creamy goodness! Today I decided to use my new favorite flavor [...] -
Confession time, I recorded a 30 minute video making this with both kids (partally) 2 nights ago. I miss videos. I really do but they seem so much more difficult with 2 children. I'm also having technical difficulties with my video recording and audio syncing making it VERY time consuming to edit. [...] -
A couple of years ago I shared a modified version of Sloppy Joe's I made for a party. Everyone loved it but I've been wanting to try to make something similar for the family on a smaller scale and without the pre-made canned Manwich sauce. I don't particularly have any issues [...] -
Yesterday I was dreaming about a salad. Not just any salad, but a chickpea filled, cucumber, and red onion salad with a fun, tangy dressing. Unfortunately, I had no cucumber or red onion. Well, that's a lie. I had a half of cucumber but it was a mushy mess and [...] -
Dinner meals are getting harder and harder for me to share lately. I've gone back to just whipping things up without really measuring anything (this meal was going to be one of those until I realized I still had enough light to take some photos.) I've also instituted a few brainless meal nights [...] -
Three years ago I posted a video called "Makin' Hard Boiled Eggs" where I shared my system for, well... making hard boiled eggs. Genius name, I know. I'm smart like that. Anyway, since then I've gotten tons of feedback and comments thanking me but all the information is locked in a long winded 10 minute [...]

[...] Watchers. I’ve borrowed the paper materials from a friend and the web is an insanely useful tool for diets. I chose WW because they have a program for nursing [...]
Hey Roni, do you know if there is a calculator that could be downloaded to a handheld device/ pda?
Dione – I don’t but you aren’t the first person to ask. If I have time I’ll research a bit and see if I can come up with the something.
A lot of people have asked about various points calculator applications. I’ve found this one http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/Points_Calculator/1091977865/1 to be quite useful. Its discrete enough that I feel comfortable using it up on the screen at work. Maybe it could be downloaded to a PDA. The only downside it is won’t take decimals like Roni’s calculator, but its close enough for most situations. PS Roni, thanks for all your stories, I’ve been reading for about a year now and it makes me feel like I’m doing this with a friend. :)
Dione- I use a Palm PDA program that not only counts points, but is a journal as well. It is a fabulous program that only works with Palm OS though. If anyone wants a copy of it let me know. It was kind of banned by WW in 2004, even though the programer was giving out for free. It is so much better than the WW On-the-Go version. To bad WW didn’t hire the guy to write stuff for WW. He truly has a talent for a good program. It is called WWCalc.

In regards to the post on September 14th from Dione:
Currently there is nothing out there right now. However, I do know that there is something in the works. The company is called Briobody and they are at http://www.briobody.com. Its almost like face book for nutrition and excersise. They should be launching by the end of October.
what is the formule for ww food points? x g of total weight (add, substract, multiply, etc) x g of fat (add, substract, multiply, etc) x g of fiber = X. this is the one I am looking for. I wouldn’t mind doing it in my head.
thanks
http://www.healthyweightforum.org/eng/articles/weight_watchers_points/ Shows the formula.
Basically:
Points = (calories/50) + (fat/12) – (fiber/5), where fiber is limited to 4.
Not great to do your head, but you can certainly write a program into your calculator/PDA/food log spreadsheet. (Yes, I’m an engineer.)
Hi Roni,
Just a quick question – I live in the UK and have recently started following the Weightwatchers Plan. The UK site has a WW Points Target Calculator but it is giving me different figures to your one here. It is telling me to aim for 2 points lower than yours (female, 39yrs, 163 lbs, 5’8″, sitting down most of the day). Weight watcher site says 19 points, your calculator says 21. I just wondered if you knew why this was, I thought the points system was universal?
Thanks for your help, Janey. x
I have heard that they are not universal. Things are always bigger in the US….
Janey, From what I know they are not universal. Weight Watchers has slightly different programs in different countries. I’m not quit sure why.
In the US they are launching a new prgram this week, maybe the will match up after that??
I’ll be posting about it mid week.
We’ll see! :)
I have recently been diagnosed with diabetes and I was told by a friend with diabetes that her doctor recommended Weight Watchers. I am also on a 2000 miligram of sodium diet to boot. Any comments or suggestions on this would be helpful
There is an app for the iphone that calculates WWP. It’s available on the itunes store. Search “points.”
Also, to Gwen: My suggestion: get yourself officially on WW, go to the meetings and do the online tools. It’s the only approach that’s ever worked, long term, for me and for anyone I know who’s succeeded in the long run. And it’s ideal for people with Type 2 diabetes. Opt for the filling foods and away from any simple carbs.
Louis – I have been looking for a non internet points diary for WW. I think you are referring to the one that everyone says will work on my PALM OS.
Would you send me a copy?
I haven’t blogged or responded to conversations on a website – OOOHH I hope this works.
Anyone willing/able to share the nformula/ algorithm for daily target points? Thanks
Stephanie – It’s on wikipedia… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weight_Watchers
I see thee forumlas for how many points are in a food or recipe. What I am looking for is the determination of the total daily point target, what you are calling Daily WWP Target calculator. It is based on gender, current weight, age…
Am I being stoopid and not seeing it in wick?
Thanks

Could you please tell me how many points do I need with this new weight watchers program. I can’t afford the meetings anymore. My weight has really gotten out of control.
Kathy – It’s not like the old plan. There is no formula. They tell you what yours in when you weigh in. I *think* most people get around 29.
Roni you’re the best! Thank you for making these available! Very helpful!
Can you post the calculation for the 2012 point system? I have a program on my iphone where you can enter your own formula and it will calculate for you. It’s called Edibles http://www.random-ideas.net/Software/Edibles and it’s only 4.99.
Thanks :)
