How to track with SmartPoints®

Tracking makes you aware of what you're eating (and how much) and helps you stick to your SmartPoints budget.

Tracking on the WW app

Be portion-wise
For a balanced plate, fill half with vegetables and/or fruit, one quarter with lean protein, and one quarter with whole grains or other starches.

A few pointers:

  • Be as accurate as you can. If you don't know the SmartPoints value, that's okay! Make your best guess.

  • Track “in the moment.” It can be hard to remember what you’ve eaten by the end of the day, so track as you go or snap a pic for tracking later. If you don’t manage to track immediately, just try to get back to it the next time.

  • Be kind to yourself. Not every day is going to be perfect. And that’s OK. Focus on what you do next—plan your next meal, or take a walk—and you’ll be right back in the game.
