How do SmartPoints work?
SmartPoints is an evolution of Points and ProPoints - our simple counting system that nudges you towards nutritious, healthier foods. We give each food and drink a number based on its total energy, sugar, saturated fat and protein. Simply stick to your personalised SmartPoints Budget and eat the foods you love while you lose weight.
How SmartPoints work for weight loss

You'll also get an additional weekly SmartPoints Budget. You might want to enjoy a few extra SmartPoints each day or save them up for the weekend.

Enjoy ZeroPoint™ foods that you don't have to track or measure. These foods help you form the foundation of a healthy eating pattern.
