S/C/G: 300/too much/155

Default Calculating points without my computer!!

Hi All

Im very new to Weight Watchers, I signed up this morning online, and have been planning my next couple of days. My first (of many Im sure) question is how do I figure my points without my computer when I am out and about. I dont have a pocket thingy, but I do have it online. So what is the equation to figure out how many points may be in a serving of something Ive found interesting in a grocery store?

Thanks in advance

Default

POINTS = (calories/50) + (fat grams/12) - (fiber grams <capped at 4 grams>/5)

Or remember:

add 1 point for every 50 calories
add 1 point for every 12 grams of fat

and

subtract .2 for 1 gram of fiber; .4 for 2 grams of fiber; .6 for 3 grams of fiber and .8 for 4 or more grams of fiber
