Smart Points
-
Many of you have been asking how to use the new smart points system with WWDiary.
There are instructions here for how to follow older point programs with custom formulas: http://forum.canofsleep.com/discussion/132/wwdiary-new-ww-plan-and-how-to-keep-using-the-old-one
To use the new smart point system you can follow the same instructions, only selecting the following custom food stats:- calories
- sugar
- satfat
- protein
And you can use the following forumula:round((calories + (4 * sugar) + (9 * satfat) - (3.2 * protein)) / 33) -
There was an error in the previous version of the formula. I have edited the post above to correct it.

Love the app. One thing I noticed that is different is the calculation to get your total points. My wife belongs to WW and got me one of there calulators. It figured me out for 33 points yours without subtracting gives me 37 points. Is that the reason for the subtracting line?
-
@bsreed Which subtracting line?
-
Sorry, should have said adjustments line.
-
Ahh that's for point allowance. The point allowance calculator may have changed for the smartpoint program. I would manually enter in what they gave you for smartpoints. I do not have all of the literature yet to determine what it should be for smartpoints.
Just uncheck the box that says to use the calculator and enter in a manual value. -
Adjustments were meant for women who breastfeed or individuals with other needs that would gain or lose points based on conversations with their WW leader.

Ok, thanks. Also, is the scanner hooked to a database that collects the info for point values or does it just pull up the product?
-
@bsreed not sure what you mean. The scanner will look up foods entered into the system by other subscribers (if you have a subscription) or look in your existing database for a previously scanned and entered in food. You will then have an opportunity to select servings and add it (with the recalled point values and food stats) to your log for the day.

Ok, you answered it. That is exactly what I was asking.

Hi ddumont,
I hope you're well.
Just wondering if you will be updating the app for the (yet again) updated Weightwatchers program now called Flex?
I know you have to put a lot of time in for these updates but it's always much appreciated.
Kind Regards.

I will look into it, but there may not be a need to actually update it. Instead, if someone derives the formula, you can simply put that in the calculator.
It seems like this plan has a bunch of exceptions that are 0 points now. IMO, they keep changing the plan to be more gimmicky every time.
