    @alloy1028 Thank you for the script. It works great, except it doesn't seem to get all the points quite right. :smile:
    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

    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

    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?

    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.

    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.

    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.
  • 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 heads

    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! :p
