START CALCULATING PointsPlus VALUES NOW

While it’s best to set up the calculator with your

personalinformation(seepage6),youcan

calculate a PointsPlus value right away. Be sure

you have the nutrition information for the foods

you are entering handy.

Here’s how to get started:

1. Press the PointsPluskey,

then press ENTER.

2. Use the number keys to

put in the number of

Total Fat grams per serving.

Press ENTER.

3. Do the same to put in the

grams per serving.

Press ENTER.

4. Put in the Dietary Fiber

Press ENTER.

5.Finally,putintheProtein

grams per serving.

Press ENTER.

The PointsPlus value for

one serving of that food

will be shown.

Certain foods, especially sugar-free foods, may contain sugar alcohols, which may

reduce total PointsPlus® values. These ingredients–and also regular alcohol–are not

typically included on food labels. As a result, you might notice discrepancies with the

values you see in your lists and the values you calculate with the Weight Watchers®

PointsPlus Calculator. For the most accurate values for sugar-free foods and foods

containing alcohol, please use the food lists in the Pocket Guide or Companion

books, or, if you’re a subscriber, use the database on Weight Watchers eTools.

TRACK YOUR DAILY PointsPlus VALUES

Now that you’ve personalized your calculator with

your daily PointsPlusTarget,youarereadytobegin

tracking. Your calculator can track both the PointsPlus

value that you calculate and the PointsPlus value for

foods you already know.

To track the PointsPlus value that you have calculated:

Every time you calculate a

PointsPlusvalueforanewfood,

the word USE? will appear on your

screen. (See page 4 for calculating

PointsPlus values.) Press ENTER

this PointsPlus value from your daily PointsPlus Target

or press C/CE to exit.

the screen.

Press the DOWN ARROW key to
