How to Track Weight Watchers Points on MFP!!

Odessit68

@alloy1028 Thank you for the script. It works great, except it doesn't seem to get all the points quite right.
I was trying to figure out the formula that you were using and couldn't.
The formula that I've found on another web site is (calories + 4xSugar + 9xSat.Fat - 3.2xProtein)/33

Cool, cant' wait until this afternoon to try to do this. Thank you.

I can't get the points to display in my diary what am I doing wrong?

heathercaldwell75

Worked perfectly - thank you!

cassalon

Thank you to so many of you for your help. This used to work on Firefox, then didn't, then did occasionally. Now after tweaking line 5 and 6 of the script and removing the / - it works!

I tried Zaphod71's github script for Smart Points. I had to remove the final / from lines 6 & 7 as someone suggested, but now it works fine. . . Except that the calculations are way off. For example WW says a Haas Avocado is 7 points, but the script says it's 17.5!

Right now I have my nutrients set in this order: Saturated Fat, Protein, Fat, Sugar, None.

Any suggestions?

Has anyone been able to update the WW pts to the new "New Smart Points"?

How about furnishing the script or a link to it? Thanks

I do mfp on my phone. But covert to points with the sp calculator. I count all foods, nothing free.

Does anyone know of a script for WW Fit Points??

mboushey

This has worked for me for a few weeks and is all of a sudden only showing 0 points for everything. Anyone else experiencing this?

Here's the link to the script I'm using: https://github.com/LeChuck71/MFP_WW_Points/raw/master/MFP_WW_Points.user.js

I just installed the script and running into the same issue as mboushey - the column is there but it is only showing 0 points for everything.

Hey glad it works for you

If you can check the points calculation and give me some feedback would be great.
I did it on some foods and recipes and it was fine compared to the original WW tool on an ipad.

Cheers

I followed the instructions and the column displays, but everything just calculates to 0. Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Themdragons

is this link still working for anyone.

heathercaldwell75

Nto working for me anymore. It's just calculating the points to zero now. @alloy1028 or @Zahpod71 any suggestions? Thank you in advance!

Really not many calories in veggie's but In fruit yes because of the sugar, the only way you could have a lot of calories in veggies is if one loads them with butter and such, and also consuming veggies by the time one digest's them they become water---that's the reason WW makes them free points.

Not just me then

atirmae

Mine are all registering as zero now as well.

MFP changed it's column names so the script is a little wonky. I tried to submit a pull request to LeChuck71's script, but it looks like it's a read only repository. So here is the updated script that fixes that.

Thank you!! The revised script fixed it. Nerd question, but how did you figure out the new column names?
