Question Points question

I have been following ww on my own for a while now. I couldn't afford to do the meetings, so I am doing it on my own with all the materials. My question is this: I'm curious if there is a way to figure out how many calories are equal to the points. For instance I'm in the 26-31 pt range and would like to know how many calories that is.

In general a point is approximately 50 calories but that isn't always so. A point can be as low as 25 calories or as high as 75 calories based on fat and fiber. 12 grams of fat add 1 point and 4 grams of fiber subtract approximately 1 point.

This chart can help but remember it doesn't include any of the 'freebies' or "free veggies":

Point Range (123 Success Points) Converted to Calories
(This isn't always 100% true because of fiber)

18-25 points = 1050-1400 calories
20-27 points = 1150-1500 calories
22-29 points = 1250-1600 calories
24-31 points = 1350-1700 calories
26-33 points = 1450-1800 calories
28-35 points = 1550-1900 calories
