Daily PointsPlus Formula

Formula
$$\text{Daily Points (Men)} = \min \left\{ \max \left\{ \text{round} \left[ \frac{ht – 48}{2.25} + (wt \times 0.1834) – \frac{age – 17}{4} \right], 29 \right\}, 71 \right\}$$ $$\text{Daily Points (Women)} = \min \left\{ \max \left\{ \text{round} \left[ \frac{ht – 48}{2} + (wt \times 0.1461) – \frac{age – 21}{5} – 5 \right], 29 \right\}, 71 \right\}$$

Where:

  • $$ht$$ = Height in inches
  • $$wt$$ = Weight in pounds
  • $$age$$ = Age in years


The PointsPlus system assigns a daily allowance based on physical characteristics to help users manage food intake. It uses rounded values and sets boundaries (minimum 29, maximum 71).
This calculator applies:

  • A higher calorie burn rate for taller and heavier individuals
  • Age reductions to account for slower metabolism
  • Gender-specific formulas for more personalized results

It’s commonly used with food tracking apps and nutritional plans.
