Weight Watchers Points Calculator

An absolute godsend to the Weight Watchers plan is the Points Calculator, which is available at Weight Watchers meetings or from www.weightwatchers.co.uk When you are using Weight Watchers to lose weight you are required to count the points values allocated to each and every food available.

And this is where the Points Calculator is worth its weight in gold. Points are worked out depending on ...  Read the complete review

I used to survive trying to work out my favourite foods using the little cardboard points calculator that you get at your first meeting or searching on the internet for someone who knew the answer.

**** Introduction **** After starting the weight watchers diet at the start of the year, I have had to change my eating habits completely. I have now adapted a healthy lifestyle by eliminating foods that have high calorie and saturated fat content. When I first started the diet, I found it very hard tracking what foods i could eat with low point values, The weight watcher books did help but trying to find certain foods and their point values became so hard and by the time i found out what the point content was in each food i didn't even want it.
