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 foods 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 300 calories from a brownie impacts your body differently than 300 calories from grilled chicken? Unlike other weight-loss programs, we look at calories and big-picture, complex nutrient data to create a food’s PersonalPoints value. It’s exactly why healthier eating feels easier—and actually fun—on WW.

Your Top Questions, Answered!
PersonalPoints™ brings together three groundbreaking innovations—a personalized ZeroPoint™ foods list, a Points® algorithm that makes healthy choices simpler, and rewards for building healthy habits—to provide a truly personalized path to weight loss. And “personalized” isn’t just a buzzword—it’s scientifically proven that individualized approaches lead to greater weight loss than a one-size-fits-all approach!
Let us count the exciting ways! Our brand-new algorithm crunches even more nutritional data so you’re guided toward the healthiest choices. Foods higher in fiber and healthy fats—like avocados, almonds, and some whole grains—are now lower in Points than before. We’re also nudging you away from added sugars and unhealthy fats. Some foods may have gone up a bit in Points, but our science makes sure you still have plenty in your Budget for the foods you love.
We know change can be tricky when things are going great, but you now get an entirely individualized plan and ZeroPoint foods list based on the foods you love—and more personalization leads to more success. Join WW, then tell us which foods those are via our PersonalPoints Engine—they’ll most likely appear on your ZeroPoint foods list.
After you join, you’ll answer a few questions in our revolutionary PersonalPoints Engine—it factors in your answers with our weight-loss expertise, then custom-builds your Points Budget, ZeroPoint foods list, and activity target.
Anything you want—really! On WW, nothing is off-limits. Just track each food, stick to your Budget, eat ZeroPoint foods, and watch the weight come off.
We have thousands of meatless recipes (plus a plant-based cookbook!) that make a vegan or vegetarian lifestyle and weight loss totally possible—and delicious.
When it comes to nutrition, calories don’t tell the whole story. PersonalPoints factor in calories, added sugars, saturated fats, protein, fiber, and unsaturated fats to guide you toward a healthier pattern of eating so you can lose weight and feel good.
