To calculate weight watchers points simply use this formula:
p=(c/50) + (f/12) + (min{r,4}/5)
Step 1
Look at the food item's packaging or lable for nutrional values. Divide the calories by 50.
Step 2
Divide the total fat grams by 12.
Step 3
Add the values from Steps One and Two to get the value of "X."
Step 4
Divide the dietary fiber grams by 5 to equal "Y."
Step 5
Take "X minus Y" to find the point value of the food item. Round up values higher than .5 and round down for values lower than .5.
