In Feel Good®, the calculation of the points which, at Weight Watchers, are assigned to each food has been changed in depth. From now on, the SmartPoint is calculated not only according to the calories that the food provides, but also and especially according to its protein intake.
These are recommended because they are satiating and require more energy than other nutrients to digest. Saturated fats (often consumed in excess, which is detrimental to health) and sugars contained in the food (which must, according to the WHO, be greatly reduced downwards) are also taken into account.
The fruits and vegetables are always at 0 SmartPoint. Obviously, the daily budget, just like the weekly SmartPoints quota (both calculated according to age, sex, weight and height, and therefore scalable) still exist. They allow everyone to experience their thinning as she wants, with the least frustration and as much freedom as possible!
With this method, “healthy” foods, rich in satiating proteins and light in sugars and saturated fats are favored. These two examples show us that with the same number of calories, the SmartPoints balance is not at all the same! You quickly learn to make the right choices.
300 calorie breakfast
1 cup of unsweetened coffee or tea + 1 glass (200ml) of orange juice without added sugar + 1 pain au chocolat => 15 SmartPoints
WHERE
1 cup of unsweetened coffee or tea + 1 plain yogurt + 50g of bread + 50g of defatted ham +1 orange => 7 SmartPoints
640 calorie lunch
1 chicken-vegetables-mayonnaise sandwich + 1 apple => 16 SmartPoints
WHERE
120g cooked turkey cutlet + 200g cooked potatoes with 1 tbsp. to c. of oil + 150g of mushrooms + 2 small Swiss at 20% +1 tbsp. to c. honey +1 pear
Some benchmarks in SmartPoints
Your typical menus at 30 SmartPoints

Big day, barely time for lunch, nothing prepared at home… so we fall back on a sandwich that has nothing to do with diet! But no problem: we can compensate with other meals (which remain generous and balanced). Even if the real good idea is, as soon as you can, to prepare your lunchbox or even a homemade sandwich. More protein (ham, egg, salmon, chicken), less mayonnaise or butter sauce, good bread and raw vegetables … it’s quickly prepared and less “expensive” in SmartPoints!
