How to Calculate Weight Watchers Points


For those like me that always wondered how they came up with our WW points values, here is the breakdown.

Weight watchers points formula

Thought this was helpful - new way to calculate your points for weight watchers.

Weight Watchers Updated: Your personal daily points target- use this formula

1. Are you
female?- score 2
Male?- score 8
A nursing mom?- score 12

2. How old are you?
17-26- score 4
27-37- score 3
38-47- score 2
48-58- score 1
over 58- score 0

3.What do you weigh?
Enter the first two digits of your weight in pounds.
(for example, if you weight 199, you will add 19 to your score)

4. How tall are you?
Under 5’1- score 0
5’1-5’10- score 1
Over 5’10- score 2

5. How do you spend most of your day?
Sitting down? score 0
Occasionally sitting? score 2
Walking most of the time? score 4
Doing physically hard work most of the time? score 6

Now add them all together and that’s your daily total. It might be higher for some. My WW coordinator said if this is the case, take the difference between your new and old and divide it in half and then add that much to your previous total

Yeah I've done this before and it only gives me 18. : ( That's way too little. I have to use flex points every day.

Lala, for you "Skinny" girls that would be right :)....mine is 25 which was the number I had when I was doing the classes, then the smaller you get, the less points. Which I never understood that philosphy, I would have thought you could eat more. I definitely eat the flex points too, you have to when working out.

Yeah I don't get it either. I guess they think you don't need as much, but that's not true! I am starving with 18.
