What’s my daily PointsPlus® Target?
Every food and drink has a PointsPlus value, and what you eat and drink each day should add up to your daily PointsPlus Target, which is determined by your age, height, weight and gender.

How do I use it?
You can eat whatever you like, and a great place to start is by figuring out the PointsPlus values of the foods you regularly eat in the PointsPlus Tracker. (Track your go-to items right from the homepage by clicking "Track everyday items.")
Play with portion sizes — you can adjust these in the PointsPlus Tracker. And learn how to visualize portion sizes here.

Your meeting room is a great resource for getting substitution ideas from other members and your Leader.
It's important to fit all food groups into your Target each day. That will give you better nutrition and much-needed variety. You can distribute it however you like, but here are a few suggestions for various Targets.

How do I count fruit & veg?
All fresh fruit and most vegetables have been assigned PointsPlus values of 0. We’re assuming you’re going to eat a reasonable amount of these, and that’s already factored into your daily PointsPlus Target.
