Weight Watchers Points Plus

Points Plus

Weight Watchers is points system overhauled their and come to a completely new program-named Points Plus (or Pro Points in the United Kingdom).

(Started in 1997), the formula of the previous points were taken into account in Calories, FAT and fiber grams g when sizing is by weight. PointsPlus formula uses the protein, carbohydrate, fiber and fat grams.

Weight Watchers spent years of testing the new program (at the Medical University of South Carolina, as the case may be, among other places). Weight Watchers to him, the tests led to "an improvement in the behaviour, which can help you be more productive, to maintain the weight and the desire to eat, as the case may be, the need for physical hunger and food." (src).

The formula of the previous Points Critics claimed that it provides an accurate measure of the difference between more nutritionally dense foods and "empty calories". This is due to the heavy weighting through other Calories nutrients measures.

When we have a 100-calorie Apple, on the one hand, and cookies 100 calorie Pack on the other, and we see them in the "same", because the calories are the same, it says everything, who said to control calories for more information about the limitations of using only the food choices.

What is the new formula?

Points Plus = (Protein grams/10.9) + (carbohydrate grams/9.2) + (FAT grams/3.9) + (Fiber grams/35).

So Big Mac

Shows plus = 25/10,9 + 45/9.2 29/3.9 + 3/35
Shows Plus = 2.29 + 4.89 + 7.44 + 0.09
Points Plus = 14.71 (the previous paragraph, the value was 13.97).

Note that this formula is Wikipedia (ProPoints) through, and we cannot guarantee that this is an accurate and precise tools to use the official WW Points Plus-values. It might be US-formula is a bit different. Some have suggested Carb Gram-value should be (Carb-Fiber)/United States of America with regard to the differences between mark 9.2 and UK.

What would otherwise be changed to dots Plus
