All the details on PersonalPoints
When you join WW, you’ll answer a series of questions via our PersonalPoints Engine, which builds your unique ZeroPoint food list and PersonalPoints Budget to ensure you can eat what you love and still lose weight.
It’s up to you how you spend
Did you know that 1200 kilojoules from a brownie impacts your body differently than 1200 kilojoules from grilled chicken? Unlike other weight loss programs, we look at kilojoules and complex nutrient data to create a simple, easy to understand number: A food’s PersonalPoints value. It’s exactly why healthier eating feels easier—and actually fun—on WW.
