I've been following MFP for awhile now and I've been stuck for awhile now so I'm thinking of switching direction and try to follow Weight Watchers for a bit to see if I can break myself of some bad habits I'm getting.

I've done weight watchers in the past so I'm very familiar with it. But I want to keep logging my food on here.

My question is how do I know what to change my daily goals to to mesh with Weight Watchers goals?? Right now my MFP goals are a bit lower than what I'm allowed on Weight Watchers. So I want to raise my goals.

I know there is a formula for figuring out points, but how do I know exactly how many calores/fat/fiber to put in my goals?

    For calories, I'd do the WW for a few weeks and see what your points typically get you in terms of calories. Keep logging. If you go over your calories on here for those weeks, I wouldn't worry about it.

    Carb/Protein and Fiber for a balanced diet, which is what WW touts is 50% carbs, 30% protein & 20% fat. If you manually set to those goals, they'll adjust for you.

    Fiber should be 25 for a healthy woman.

    Hopefully that helps!

    Lifetime member of WW here, gained my weight back. I also try to do WW and log here as well. I do that for all my friends here and I keep track of my WW points on my iphone app. I read somewhere that each point is the equivalent of 50 calories.
