Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is this points calculator?
This calculator uses the official Weight Watchers formulas for both SmartPoints and PointsPlus. However, the official WW app may have additional proprietary adjustments, so results may vary slightly.
Can I eat all my weekly points in one day?
While technically possible, it's better to spread weekly points throughout the week. This helps maintain steady energy levels and supports consistent weight loss.
What if I go over my daily points?
You can use your weekly points or earn activity points through exercise. Going over occasionally won't derail your progress, but consistency is key for success.
