Working with MyPoints
Many users have asked us to add Weight Watchers Point calculations to our software.
While we can't legally add such a feature, we did add a point calculator to
Living Cookbook. The MyPoints calculator can be customized to emulate virtually
any point system based on calories, fat and fiber content.
- On the Tools menu click Options.
- Enter values for the Calorie, Fat Grams and Fiber Grams coefficients. Weight
Watchers uses 50, 12, -5 and 0 respectively, but you could enter other values
for other point systems.
Note In the United Kingdom Weight Watchers
uses 0, 0, 70 and 4.
- Click OK.
- The MyPoints values will display at the bottom of the nutrition table for
recipes and ingredients.
