Weight Watchers Points Calculator Widget

OK, here goes nothing...

Almost four months ago, I tossed around the idea of making a Weight Watchers widget. I made one, then forgot about it. Now I've tweaked it so the UI is a little better.

All you do is put in the calories and saturated fat of the foodstuff you want to eat, and it will work out how many WW points it's worth. It could be really handy for anyone who's following the Weight Watchers diet who wants to know the points value of food they want to eat.

I've still got a few things to add to this widget so it's pretty simple at the moment, but I'm posting this incomplete version now so I can get some feedback.

Current Features in v0.1

  • Calculate points for the Weight Watchers Pure Points weight loss programme

Upcoming Features
  • Calculate points for both Pure Points and Flex Points weight loss programmes
  • Specify number of portions
  • Calculate points for foods where details of precise portions aren't available

Possible Upcoming Features
  • Homescreen compatibility (although I really don't know how this could benefit anyone)
  • Upload the details of your foodstuff (meal name, calories, sat. fat, fibre, WW points - Pure and/or Flex - portion size etc) to an online database for everyone to browse

Sure davecozens, go ahead.

Woo! I have a claim to fame 😊

BTW thank you everyone who sent me PMs thanking me for starting this widget, but sadly I can't reply to all of them because some of you have set your AAS accounts not to receive PMs 😊

Hey everyone!

I've just made v0.2 of what is currently called the Weight Watchers Widget! Attached are a couple of screenshots!

New Features in v0.2

  • Calculate points for both the Pure Points AND Flex Points programmes
  • Added ability to specify the number of portions. Put in the details for one portion and just select the number of servings!
  • Minor UI changes and fixes
