How many weight watchers points allowed


In the Weight Watchers Flex program, how many points you are allowed each day depends on your weight.
Less than 150 pounds = 18-25 Points
150 to 174 pounds = 20-27 Points
175 to 199 pounds = 22-29 Points
200 to 224 pounds = 24-31 Points
225 to 250 pounds = 26-33 Points
Over 250 pounds = 28-35 Points
The number of points you are allowed may be increased with exercise.
If you want to calculate activity points, use the following steps:
1. Determine your maximum heart rate:
Maximum Heart Rate = 220 – Age
2. Calculate activity levels:
Light is about 40-54% Maximum Heart Rate.
Moderate is 55-69% Maximum Heart Rate.
Heavy is equal to or greater than 70% Maximum Heart Rate
3. Calculate activity points:
Light Activity Points = Weight x Minutes x .000232
Moderate Activity Points = Weight x Minutes x .000327
Heavy Activity Points = Weight x Minutes x .0008077
