Make tracking easier on WW

1. Eat now, track later

If you wake up and realise that you didn’t track last night’s dinner, don’t stress. Forgetting to track doesn’t need to set you back! That’s because you can backtrack your meals up to seven days. If this sounds like something that could work for you, it may be worth taking photos of your meals and snacks so you remember exactly what you ate.

2. Track in advance

For those who prefer to plan their meals ahead of time, here’s some news you’ll love: you can pre-track your breakfast, lunch, and dinner up to 7 days in advance.

3. Track automatically

Did you know that you can sync your activity tracker (like a Fitbit or Apple Watch) with the WW app? It’s the easiest way to track - and get rewarded for - all of the activity Points® you earn!

4. Start scanning

The barcode scanner is one of the coolest features in the WW app. Simply tap the barcode icon, scan, and you’ll automatically get the Points value for that food and have the option to track it. Genius!

5. Use the voice-to-text feature for hands-free tracking

Look ma, no hands! If your hands are occupied (we see you, delicious sandwich) use the voice-to-text feature to track your meal. Simply tap the microphone symbol on your phone’s keyboard, say aloud what you’re eating (“Panera Bread Turkey Sandwich”) and the app will pull up matching options.
