If you're mad that WW didn't provide calories as part of the macros; there is a way to get the total calories for the day at this site: Macros to Calories Calculator Basically you times your total protein by 4; your total carbs by 4 and your total fat by 9. Add the totals together and you have your calories for the day!
If you're unfamiliar with the app; check out YouTube, there are many influencers showing how to use the app, how to find things on the app, etc... Just make sure you're searching for the 2025 app.
I see a lot of members asking for a printable zero point list. Go to the Weight Watchers website and log in. Choose the Program Guide, then choose to download as a PDF and print out pages 18 & 19 - it's a more extensive list. Or print out the whole guide - some helpful hints in there.
Please remember that WW is not a low carb program. I see way too many people asking why certain items (potatoes for example) are zero points due to carbs (I actually saw one ask why they are zero due to carbs and we were always told to avoid them!!???). A plain potato (depending on size) was only 3-5 pts to begin with, and I don't know about you but I usually only eat one; it's not something I overeat. French fries? Yeah, but I know they aren't healthy and that a baked potato is a healthier choice! And for the record - WW has never said to avoid potatoes -NEVER EVER. You certainly can do low carb along with WW; but why would you do both? If you have too many numbers to track - you'll lose your momento fast!
Why should you be paying for WW and others shouldn't? This is a question you should ask yourself. I see way too many asking the point value of things, is such-such a zero food, how can I figure out my points...... and actual paying members give the info away for free!! And then try to justify it by saying "Well maybe that person can't afford it." Maybe not; but are you saying those people should be allowed to have anything from a store for free because they can't afford it? Cause it pretty much is the same thing. Giving the information away for free is a huge injustice to WW members. Direct these people to the free version of the Healthi app and the FB pages to help with it - yes, I realize they don't have the current plan; but all those other plans still work. Direct them to free calorie counting apps-they work. But don't give the information out for free.
And let's face it.....the WW app isn't that expensive - there are always promotions going on that make it $10-$11 a month for a certain time period. That price is for the app only and doesn't include in-person or virtual meetings. The meetings one seems to be running for about $22 a month right now - which is half of the normal price. The people asking for the info for free are not the people who can't afford it - it is just people wanting the information for free - give up a Dunkin or Starbucks once or twice a month and you'll have the money for the app; 4 coffees in a month? Hey....you got the meeting plan!! You can join WW here: JOIN WW HERE
