There might be something on the Weight Watchers Web site. There have
been some calculators around the Web, but WW has done a thorough job of
hunting them down and expunging them for copyright/patent reasons.

If you don't mind doing a little math, here's the formula as I found it
on-line:

(calories/50) + (fat/12) - (fiber/5) = points

where:
- fat & fiber are in grams
- you have to limit fiber to no more than 4 grams
- you round points up to the nearest integer

If you use Microsoft Excel, you can put calories, fat, and fiber in
cells A1, B1, C1, and then put this in D1 to calculate the number of
points:

=ROUNDUP((A1/50) + (B1/12) - (MIN(C1,4)/5),0)

If I typed that correctly, it should work.
