Help calculating daily points

Hello, I am developing some software to help my wife track her points and
I was wondering how to determine your daily point allotment.

If this all works out I'll definitely release it to the public domain.

Thank you!

Points are calculate using the following formula:

Calories + (fat grams x 4) - (fiber grams x 10...but with a cap of 4 grams
per serve) all divided by 50.

Here are the Daily Flex points according to weight.

FLEX POINT RANGE:

Less than 150 pounds------20 points
150-174 pounds-------------22 points
175-199 pounds-------------24 points
200-224 pounds-------------26 points
225-249 pounds-------------28 points
250-274 pounds-------------30 points
275-299 pounds-------------31 points
300-324 pounds-------------32 points
325-349 pounds-------------33 points
More than 350 pounds-----34 points

Then you add your 35 flex points on top of that. However, once the week is
over, so are your points. You cannot carry them forward, and you start
fresh with a new 35 points every week.


Hope this helps and let me know if you need anything else.

Take care

Once upon a time, someone here tracked down the technical formulas on a patent
website. I don't know if these are the same formulas, are what I have written
down.

Food points:

P=(c/50) + (tf/12) - (f/5) whe

P=points
c=calories
tf=total fat
f=fiber (maximum allowable fiber = 4 grams)

Remember when making your program that you can not allow more than 4g of fiber to
be used in the calculations.

The formula for activity points is:

P=(w/50) * (e/85) * m whe

P=points
w=weight in pounds
e=exercise level
1=light exercise
1.5=moderate, ie: just breaking a sweat
3.5=heavy, ie: heavy sweating and difficulty carrying a conversation
m=minutes spent exercizing

Hope this is what you are looking for.

LOL! Seeing another post - I realized this wasn't at all what you were looking
for. Guess I should clean off the ol' reading glasses. g

That's quite all right; I can use that too.

Is this the same as the "old" points allowance - before the
flexipoints were introduced? I haven't been to a meeting for ages and
thought the daily points allowance was lower.
thanks

When I started WW in Oct at 210, I started online at 24 points.

Here are the daily point ranges for the Winning Points plan, which
preceded the Flex Points plan. Winning Points didn't include an option
for the additional 35 weekly points introduced with the Flex Points
plan. You had to bank (or reverse bank) points in excess of your daily
target. The daily target points in the Flex plan is 2 pts over the
minimum points on the Winning plan.

Under 150 lbs-------18-23 points
150-174 lbs---------20-25 points
175-199 lbs---------22-27 points
200-224 lbs---------24-29 points
225-249 lbs---------26-31 points
250-274 lbs---------28-33 points
275-299 lbs---------29-34 points
300-324 lbs---------30-35 points
325-349 lbs---------31-36 points
350+ lbs------------32-37 points

Hope this helps. If you need info about plans prior to Winning Points,
someone else will have to step forward.
