Low Point Weight Watchers Foods
Low point Weight Watchers foods include foods that have either 0 or 1 point value in the Weight Watchers point scale. Because of how the Weight Watchers formula is constructed (dietary fiber in foods decreases their points value), some foods get even zero values on the points scale.
In addition, as no fractional points are normally, used, many foods are rounded to zero on the food points list. However, even these foods add up when used in larger amounts. Below are some of the foods that get a value of 0 or 1 in the points scale. For foods with zero value, the value in parentheses is the actual, fractional value for one serving of the food. For converting nutritional facts into points for these foods, I used a freeware called PC Points Calculator, version 3.1. (downloadable from users.dcr.net/~chefling/ww/wwtools.html) With this freeware, you can calculate Weight Watchers points, including Winning Points, 123 Success Points, International Basic Points, and International Pure Points. The calculations for foods below are based on Winning Points. To get the nutritional facts for the foods, I used an online database that lists nutritional values for the products, located at calorieking.com. The calculator does not accept fractional nutrition values (for calories, dietary fiber, or fat), so I rounded the numbers used in calculations to the closest full number. All the point values are based on nutritional facts for one serving of the food item, as listed in the CalorieKing website.
