NOTE: If you are using this calculator to track PointsPlus values,
after every seven days of tracking, your calculator will ask you to
confirm or update your weight to help you progress towards your
goal (see page 19-20).
Now that you’ve personalized your calculator with your daily
PointsPlus Target, you are ready to begin tracking. Your calculator
can track both the PointsPlus values that you calculate and the
PointsPlus values for foods you already know.
To track the PointsPlus values that you have calculated:
Every time you calculate a PointsPlus value for
a new food, the word USE? will appear on your
screen. (See page 4 for calculating PointsPlus
values.) Press ENTER to tell your calculator to subtract this PointsPlus
value from your daily PointsPlus Target.
If you are having more than one serving of
the same food, you can multiply the serving
and the calculator will calculate the total
PointsPlus value. To multiply the number
of servings, press the X key.
Put in the number of servings. (In this example
two servings are shown.)
Then press ENTER to subtract that value from
your daily PointsPlus Target, or press CE

If you are not having a full serving of the
food you calculated, use the divide function
(the ÷ key) for your calculator to provide the
PointsPlus value for the portion you are having.
NOTE: According to the Weight Watchers plan, when you have more
than one or only a portion of a serving, the calculator accounts for
all the nutrition information you have entered and does not simply
multiply or divide the PointsPlusTM value.
