Calculating Weight Watchers Points



Let’s keep it short: Diets ****. You know that. I know that. And you know that I know that. And – okay, you got it.

As far as the calorie balance (energy intake vs. energy consumption) decides about to lose or not to lose weight, you actually have two options:

eat less than you need “consume” more energy


The Weight Watchers Points System is one approach to the first option. By simplifying the concept of counting calories the Weight Watcher clients reduce their daily calorie intake. Depending on your current weight you are given an amount of points you can “consume” every day.

To count your points, complete weight watcher point lists of several foods can be found everywhere. But when it comes to very special food of very special brands, you might get in trouble finding the exact points for your food. In this case, there is an easy formula you can use to calculate the points yourself:

(Number of Calories / 50) + (Fat in grams / 12) – (Number of dietary Fiber in grams / 5)

This means, besides taking calories into account, weight watchers also uses fat and fiber as a factor influencing their point system. Here is a quick example:

Oreo DoubleStuf Cookies do have 70kcal per Cookie, including about 3.5g Fat and 0g dietary fiber. This sums up to: (70 Calories / 50) + (3.5g / 12) – (0g / 5) which is something about 1.7, ie. rounded 2 points. Each double stuffed Oreo therefore has 2 points using the Weight Watcher System (very bad, if you are only allowed to eat 25 points a day).

Keeping a point range for Weight Watchers is destined to fail. You may have worked hard at first. Sometimes, you deprive yourself of the food that you crave most to save the points. Your hard work is truly suffering for you and your cravings, not to mention your favorite restaurant’s profit. You were into the Weight Watchers program and have followed them patiently until you earned some modest results. Then, you went on vacation with your friends and a date with your hubby. Eventually, you ended cheating on your diet – once, twice and later even more than twice. It then became difficult to stick and manage most given that you have an active lifestyle and a very busy schedule. After then, you found a good diet that is a lot easy to realize and is guaranteed to work. Then after, you found yourself working at the first step and decided that the point range for Weight Watchers is leads only to failure. Thus, you have kept yourself from all other programs. You just quit on the idea of being able to shape up and be healthy.

It is understandable that the point range for Weight Watchers is a good cover-up plan for calories. On a regular health-conscious diet, you count the calorie consumption. They assign numerical values for food and drinks. These points are then based on the amount of calories, fiber and fats in the food. In the point range for Weight Watchers, it is actually just the same. Thus, like any other dietary programs, the point range for Weigh Watchers is bound to fail.

Another thing’s that the official success rate of point range for Weight Watchers is likely low. It is estimated to be just 5% of the avid people doing the Weight Watchers program. The possibility in Statistics is entirely poor; that’s why a lot of people who are using the point range for Weight Watchers soon end up miserable. This is just another evidence of why the point range for Weight Watchers is compelled to fail.

One can actually accept that the point range Weight Watcher is just another diet program. This person may actually give it a try until the discovery that the meals aren’t healthy at all. After discovering ingredients from the Weight Watchers meals like brown sugar and carob chips, one would definitely be taken aback to have found about their fat, sugar and calorie content. Notwithstanding, the Weight Watchers calculator is purely based on estimates. No wonder! The Weight Watchers program is truly destined to fail.

Accordingly, all of these are negative points for the Weight Watcher program. They are all reasons why the point range for Weight Watcher is not for you; but of course, you can still give another chance for your healthy goals. Unlike the Weight Watcher and any other diet programs, the Fat Loss for the Idiots uses the Shifting Calorie Theory. This means you have the highest probable rate in burning fats effectively and for life!

Yuna asked:


I am just starting out on Weight Watchers and am allowed 31 points a day. Between breakfast and lunch I use up about 8-10 points. That leaves me with 21-23 points to spend for the rest of the day. I would have to consume quite a bit of fat and calories to use up all those points. I only plan on about 10 points for dinner. Do I have to use up the rest of those points or can I do without them?
