How to Calculate Weight Watchers Points Online

The Weight Watchers program is based on calculating points instead of adding up calories. It also takes into consideration that a food might have more calories but also be higher in fiber, which aids in digestion. In order to calculate the points in a food, you will need to know the total calories, fat grams and fiber per portion or serving. Online calculators will allow you to easily convert the information into point values.
