Below are some of the sites I reference frequently while following the Weight Watchers Points Plus program. I'm always looking for new resources - if you are aware of any hidden gems, please let me know in the comments section below.
Dotti's Weight Loss Zone
This is a classic resource I first discovered nearly 7 years ago. Dotti has calculated Weight Watchers Points Plus for most restaurant chains. Very useful when dining out, especially when you have a link to her page on your phone.
Subway Nutrition Information (.PDF)
When I have to eat out, I usually pick Subway. The food is fresh, there are lots of veggies and I can even find this chain in many airports. The problem I have had, is finding good nutrition information for the exact subs I choose. The Weight Watchers online site has limited information, and Dotti's site (mentioned above) doesn't mention "my" sub. This handy .PDF from Subway solves the problem and lets you calculate the exact points of what you are eating. Note that the nutrition information covers the sub filling on wheat bread, but does not include cheese...so add that separately. Now I will always know the exact points plus value of my favorite sub - Veggie Patty on Wheat with American Cheese, 10 PP!
How Many Points in My Favorite Brand of Beer, Wine, Alcohol & Liquor?
It may be a little embarrassing to admit, but I find myself asking this question often. This page on JustDietNow.com solves the problem! Scroll down a bit and you will find a very thorough listing of Points Plus values for most brands. I have this link on the homepage of my iPad so I can easily decide if I have enough points for Happy Hour!
