In the most recent iteration of WW, you’re assigned a color — either blue, green, or purple — after taking a brief assessment.
These colors represent whether you have a lower or higher daily SmartPoints allotment. When you have a lower daily allotment, your list of zero-point foods, which you can eat freely, is larger. Here are more details:
- Green: higher points budget, zero-point foods include fruits and non-starchy vegetables
- Blue: moderate points budget, zero-point foods include fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and yogurt
- Purple: lower points budget, zero-point foods include fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, yogurt, and whole wheat pasta
Each plan gives you a different allotment of “SmartPoints” to spend on some foods, and a list of “ZeroPoints” foods that you don’t need to keep track of. When you sign up for WW, you’ll take a quiz where WW tries to gauge your level of interest in tracking what you eat. At the end of the quiz, WW will sort you into a color that best suits your answers.
WW also offers a budget of Weekly SmartPoints that you can use if you go over your budget and FitPoints that can be earned from physical activities, which can then be traded for more SmartPoints to spend on foods or simply used to track progress.
