Weight Watchers points are calculated based on more than just calories. They take into consideration the carbohydrate, fiber, protein, and fat content of foods. Weight Watchers assigns a point value to different foods based on their calorie, fat, and fiber content. Users are given a daily points budget, which they can use to make food choices. The program encourages the consumption of some nutrient-dense foods (such as fruits and vegetables) which have lower point values, while limiting the consumption of high-calorie, high-fat foods which have higher point values (using up the point allowance more quickly) . Therefore, there is no direct equivalency between 1200 calories and any amount of Weight Watchers points. However, a better understanding of how these points work can help you visualize what approximately 1200 calories of points could potentially look like in your diet. For example, a 1200-calorie diet could have a range of points values, depending on the foods you eat.
