How to Use Food Tags
This article explains how to use "Tags" to add additional properties to foods from online search or in your "My Foods" list.
About Food Tags
When creating or editing a food, you can assign tags to add additional properties to a custom food.
If you're following one of the Weight Watchers Points programs, use the "Tags" feature to mark foods as fruits, vegetables, or alcohol, etc. This ensures that we calculate the correct value for zero point foods or alcoholic beverages.
