Weight
Watcher Calculator Patent
Sorry, but the Weight Watcher calculator websites that I had
linked here have been notified by the WW lawyers to remove the
calculators from their sites. By reading their patent, you may
be able to create your own Weight Watcher Point Calculator in
a spreadsheet.
The
Weight Watchers Points Formula
The actual Weight Watchers Points formula used in the Weight
Watchers Points calculator is currently under strict US Patent
laws. The formula is shown on this page.
Excel Spreadsheets
Focus
on fitness: Tools for getting in shape
There has never been a better time than right now to get in shape.
Lucky for you, Microsoft Office Online has the tools to empower
you on the road to a fit body, including templates that track
your nutrition, weight loss, and fitness routine.
Weight Loss Database
and Points Calculator
Mac or Windows with Excel. The spreadsheet is not complete in
content, but you are welcome to use it as a starting point to
make one of your own. As it stands now, you can "insert"
new entries in any of the categories, but if you instead copy
and paste one that is already there, you can then edit the contents
of that row and still retain the functionality of the equations
built in to some of the cells (like the points column cells).
The header for each section is setup so that it will sort ONLY
the entries in that section (no matter how many or few), and
the two buttons at the top are pretty much self-explanatory.
Uses macros.
Search below for the version of Excel that is right for
you or for other low fat recipe books or weight loss guides.

Palm Pilot Download Page

Finding My Self
