Many people ask about this and very few people know this is possible. YES you can track your Weight Watchers point in your MFP diary.
First off, you need to use the Mozilla Firefox browser. If you don't have it, download it for free - You won't be sorry.
Second - You will need to install a script into Firefox (like a plug-in) that will display the points in your food diary.
Here is the link: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/122949
It can be used for both the old and new points systems.
Here are more instructions about getting it setup: http://userscripts.org/about/installing
I've been using this since March and I absolutely LOVE it. It is like using the WW E tools except for free!!

Calories - Carbs - Fat - Fiber - Protein.
No other metrics showing in your diary and they must be in that order.0 -

I've done both calories and points and lately I've been only counting calories due to the cost of Weight Watchers. BUT everything has a point value and now that I added this app, I've noticed even though my calories are low the TYPES of food I'm eating are not as low in points.
This will for sure force me to add more low point foods to my meals... (veggies, fruit, etc....)
This is awesome!4 -
@ Cindy,Hey i installed the script as you said and have the same problem with no points showing?I see how you wrote that Cals-Carbs,etc must be in order but i dont have Fibre on mine?1

I noticed when editing the script that precisonWW was already set to false. The only thing I changed was pointsPlus to true.
var pointsPlus=true;
var precisonWW=false;0 -
Glad that it is working for both of you! I really like using it because as you said you can see if the types of foods you are eating are higher in points. It is funny, if you look at my diary from Monday and Tuesday - they were both pretty much the same points for each day - but on Monday I ate a lot more food!
Oh, and if you look at someone else's diary that is also using this, you will see their points as well! I noticed that it says it now works on Google Chrome too.0 -
