My Day: your home base for tracking

‏‎ ‎

WeightWatchers’ award-winning app lets you (literally) tap into every benefit of our program wherever you go. The most critical as you start your journey: food tracking. Study after study shows that those who consistently track what they eat tend to lose the most weight. Our app makes it simple. Plus, it gives you access to so many other tools made for weight-loss success, including delicious recipes, behavior change tips, a supportive community, and more. Let’s take a quick tour.

Think of the home screen (what we call My Day) as your launchpad for tracking food and other important metrics. It also shows your Points® Budget dashboard and a breakdown of daily meals. The details:

• ‏‎Food: Use the search bar to find and track foods and recipes. We speak emoji, so feel free to type, say, 🍕 or 🍪 instead of words if that works for you.
  
  
• ‏‎Weight: Tracking food isn’t the only predictor of success; research suggests weighing yourself regularly also helps you reach your goals. From My Day, tap into our weight tracker to input your weight and check (and celebrate!) your progress.
  
  
• ‏‎Activity: Regular activity can lead to more weight loss than changing your diet alone—and it adds Points to your Budget. Tap into your activity dashboard from My Day to manually track or, if you synced a fitness wearable, to see activity (and Points) automatically added.
  
  
• Healthy eating zone: A blue dot on a day of the week is our version of a blue ribbon. It means you’ve tracked and stayed within a healthy Points range that day. Members love seeing how long they can keep a blue-dot streak going.
  
  

Daily check-ins

On the home screen, you’ll see a prompt card each day for a simple to-do or inspo. It’s designed to help you build healthy habits one small but powerful step at a time. If you’re new to WeightWatchers, these prompts help you get to know all the app’s tools and features and guide you along your journey.

Barcode scanner

At the top of the home screen, you’ll find the icon for our barcode scanner, the fastest way to track many packaged foods. How to use it:

• Focus on the package’s barcode to bring up the food’s Points value.
  ‏‎ ‎

• Adjust the serving size and meal category if necessary, then tap Track.
  
  

• From the scanner, you can also tap into a searchable list of all the items you’ve scanned.
  
  
  

Recipe database and What’s in Your Fridge? recipe suggester

Whether you’re meal-planning or looking for new recipes, or don’t know what to make and want inspo, the WW app’s got you covered. From the home screen, tap the three horizontal lines on the upper left to access the app’s menu. Select Recipes, then dig into thousands of searchable options. Or use the What’s in Your Fridge? tool for ideas based on what you already have on hand.
‏‎ ‎

• Search recipes by type (e.g., “lasagna” or “chicken salad”), cuisine, or ingredients. Or scroll down for curated lists.
  
  
• To customize recipes, bring one up and tap Edit. Make additions or deletions to suit your taste.
  
  
• For help deciding what to make, tap the What’s in Your Fridge? card at the top of the Recipes screen. (Reading this on your phone? Try it now.) Enter the ingredients you want to use, the Points you want to spend, and any foods to exclude. See what we recommend!
  

Recipe builder

‏‎ ‎

Your daily homemade smoothie, a favorite kitchen-sink pasta sauce, Grandma’s banana bread—you can build and save your own go-to recipes in the app to make them easier to track.

• On the home screen, tap the search bar, Create, and then Recipe. (Or build and save your own from your phone.)
  
  
• Add ingredients and any details, then save.
  
  
• To find your recipes later, go to the menu and tap My Food. Or from the Recipes screen, tap My Recipes. ‎

Restaurant finder

Want to plan or pre-track a meal when dining out? Looking for a new spot with healthy options? Search our extensive database of restaurants and menu items.

• On the home screen, tap the three bars in the upper-left corner to access the app’s menu.
  
  

• ‏‎ ‎Scroll down and tap Restaurants.
