How to Track Weight Watchers Points on MFP!!

@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)/330 -
Cool, cant' wait until this afternoon to try to do this. Thank you.0
-
I can't get the points to display in my diary what am I doing wrong?0
-
Worked perfectly - thank you!0
-
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!1
-
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?0 -
Has anyone been able to update the WW pts to the new "New Smart Points"?0

How about furnishing the script or a link to it? Thanks0 -
I do mfp on my phone. But covert to points with the sp calculator. I count all foods, nothing free.0
-
Does anyone know of a script for WW Fit Points??0
-
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.js0 -
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.0
-
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?1 -
is this link still working for anyone.1
-
Nto working for me anymore. It's just calculating the points to zero now. @alloy1028 or @Zahpod71 any suggestions? Thank you in advance!0
-
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.0

Thank you!! The revised script fixed it. Nerd question, but how did you figure out the new column names?
0 -
How do I install the script above, and what should I put in MFP for the display (columns and order). Thanks!!!
0 -
awesome that you have been able to update the script however I am still seeing zero's in my smart points column....help
0 -
I have tried everything. I see the box smart points but its still zero
0 -
I've got the script working enough to give me the Smart Points column, but nothing registers any points. everything shows up as 0. Any thoughts on that?
Thanks!0 -
Save0

I got it to work tonight sooooo happy.. copied the script above from Tineyd00 and it works!0

Hi All,
Trying to do this now, in 2017. When I click on the link for the Greasemonkey install above, I get the message that the install was successful, then...nothing. Literally, the web address says <about:blank> I have the script info, I have Greasemonkey installed, and am using Firefox. But...I am not a computer-knowledgeable person. Any ideas to help me move along?
Thanks.0 -
Finally got to work in Tampermonkey on my Android tablet using Chrome. Copied script above (Tinyd00), pasted into Tampermonkey and used carbs, saturated fat, fiber, protein for column heads0
-
Any help for Mac users, please?0

Hello all! I've installed Greasemonkey on Firefox, and tried Tinyd00's script, copied and pasted from above, thank you! At first it showed a SmartPoints column to the right of Calories Carbs Fat Fiber Protein. If I enter an item in my food diary it does indeed show up as Points!
However, I've realized that since I am currently enrolled in Weight Watchers, what I really want is to enter Points in WW online, and have it enter the calories into MFP!1
