How to Save My Weight Watcher Points on My Home Page

Weight Watchers online is a great tool for looking up recipes, reading relevant articles and recording your daily point intake. There are a number of ways to add points to your tracker. You have the option to enter them manually if you already know how many points something was worth. You can also look up a food to see an average points value. Finally, if you know the exact nutritional information of an item, you can enter this for a calculated points value. These options make it easy to input and save the points that you consume daily.
