Propoints- How Do I work Out Propoints

[gordie1]

Weight watchers seems to be all about money. I am trying to figure out how to work out how many propoints there are in a product and on line it says I have to join e source I dont want to do that already paying class fee? Any idea how you work out propoints? It is popcorn salted and sweet low in fat and sugar,
the 25g pack 123 calories 1.8g protein sugar 3.4g saturated fat 0.4
any ideas anyone

I joined WW about 3 weeks ago. It`s flippin hard. A friend of mine gave me some advice. She said I have to get the WW calculator. She was right. You can`t work out the Propoints yourself without it. Calories don`t matter any more, it seems. What is the protein, carbs, total fat (not total saturated anymore), and fibre?

If you let me have the Protein, Carbohydrates, Fat and Fibre I'll work it out for you.

Protein, Carbohydrates, Fat and Fibre ? Wow !
When I used to go to WW it was just Calories and Saturated Fat you have to take note of. And I thought that was a bit much. All the above sounds a bit like going OTT to me.

WW calculator apps are available online for free - you don't have to join up. Example page...

I've just downloaded a free app to my android called WW Point Calculator. You type in how much protein, carbs, fat and fibre is in your meal and it works out how many points there are in the entire meal so if you only eating half the product then just put in half the amount of nutrients. You can then add this automatically to your tracker and it works out what you've eaten day by day even allowing for your 49 'extras'. I'm struggling to find an app which lets me work out say a teaspoon of jam for my toast as you can add manually any extra points. I'm just having to go through my WW book to find certain foods and add them manually. Its worth a go and works for me.

Oh and I have some weightwatchers scales at home which I've never really used as found the app a lot more handy. I've been on another forum and one women said that 1heaped tsp of jam is around 15kg (as she weighed it on her scales!) and it works out at 1pp. I'm going to have to get mine back out the cupboard.
