Is it the same?

  • I was just wondering. I am doing weight watchers here in the UK - online.

    Is weight watchers in the US based on the same points system, calculations etc?

    here its calculated on cals/100g and satfat/100g.

    I have a weightwatchers calculator on my iPhone and it seems to differentiate between UK/Europe and US. I thought the points program was the same the world over.

    It could affect the points in recipes from US sites for us in the UK.

    Thanks
  • The WW points in the US are based on Calories, grams of fat, and grams of fiber. So it doesn't sound like they are the same.
