Lose weight, not your lifestyle

The SmartPoints system is a realistic and sustainable approach to wellness and weight loss and we should know! We have 50 years of proven success helping millions of people around the world reach their goals. We're at the forefront of nutrition science and our SmartPoints system is our simple way of helping you create healthy eating habits for real life.

What are SmartPoints?

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 simple number based on its total energy, sugar, saturated fat and protein. All you have to do is stick to your personalised SmartPoints Budget and enjoy your lifestyle while you lose weight and get healthier.

How many SmartPoints do I get per day?

After joining WW, we'll guide you through a personal assessment to help you set your focus on building healthy habits (maintaining your weight) or combining healthy habits with weight loss.

You'll receive a personalised SmartPoints Budget based on your current weight, height, gender, and age.

You choose what to eat and we've got plenty of healthy recipes to guide you.

Try the WW SmartPoints calculator in the app

The WW app calculates your SmartPoints for you automatically, so you don't need to worry about the maths! All you have to do is track your food and drink using our simple food tracker, or our quick and easy barcode scanner. There's also an in-built calculator if you need to quickly find the SmartPoints value of a food or drink.

How do SmartPoints work?

You get a SmartPoints Budget

Spend it on any food or drink you like. Keep track of your SmartPoints as you use them - the fastest and easiest way is with the WW app.

Enjoy extra flexibility

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. You can also roll over up to 4 unused SmartPoints each day into this weekly allowance.
