How to use the Weight Watchers Points Calculator
I received an email question about using the Weight Watchers Points Calculator. So I wanted to give an example of how the calculator can be used. To use the calculator you will need to know the nutritional value of the foods you are eating. The nutritional value is located on the food product label. So you would basically enter the total calorie, fat and dietary fiber of the food. When eating out at restaurants it may be difficult to know the nutritional value, however most fast food restaurants will have a copy of their nutritional value on their website.
I had Wendy’s chili for lunch yesterday, so to get the points value for the Wendy’s chili I went to the Wendy’s website and this is what it looks like:
I entered the calorie, fat and diary fiber and got the points value.
Wendy’s Chili:
Calorie: 190
Fat:6gm
Dietary Fiber: 6 ( so the most you can enter is 4)
Total Points Value for Wendy’s Chili was 3.5, not bad for a filling lunch!
