PointsCalc is iPhone application software that helps calculate nutritional value for the foods you buy using Calories, Fat, and Fiber.
PointsCalc was developed out of the frustration of never being able to access the Web from inside our local grocery store.
PointsCalc is not affiliated Weight Watchers and isn’t a substitution for the more accurate and robust tools they provide. In a pinch, however, we hope it will help dedicated dieters to select healthy foods that support their weight loss goals.
To get PointsCalc, just click the “App Store” icon on the homescreen of your iPhone or browse the App Store on your computer using iTunes.
