The formula to calculate Weight Watchers Points is:
Points = (calories / 50) + (protein / 4) – (sugar / 10) – (saturatedFat / 12)
- Calories (cal): The number of calories in the food item.
- Protein (g): The amount of protein in grams in the food item.
- Sugar (g): The quantity of sugar in grams in the food item.
- Saturated Fat (g): The quantity of saturated fat in grams in the food item.
The formula assigns points based on the nutritional content of the food. Protein content contributes to fewer points, while sugar and saturated fat content contribute to more points. The points are then used to determine the food’s impact on one’s daily point allowance in the Weight Watchers program.
