UPDATED: New calculations from Weight Watchers
February 16th, 2011
UPDATE TO ORIGINAL POST, August 17, 2011:
Our original calculations on the new system were incorrect and we are having our retail boxes reprinted to show the numbers correctly. We’ve been assisted by many of our friends and are now quite sure that the points are 4 for Banana Babies, (Milk Chocolate and Dark Chocolate) on the new system. Please know too that your daily number of points went up, close to doubled. So, in comparison, our new “4″ is like “2″ in the previous system.
We will be updating informationl, please accept our sincere apologies for the earlier miscalculations.

So glad to know that! I just bought the dark chocolate and posted about them on my blog -www.loserforlife.com, but wasn’t sure how to count them. They are delicious!
I LOVE them especialy the dark chocolate. The WW 3 points – is that based on the new program? As you no fruit is not counted. the other ingredients would be?
Thanks for the info as I eat them everyday. “Fran Measel
How come when you calculate it with the new point plus calculator it always comes out to 4 then??
Are you just counting the chocolate, then?
Because I am getting 4 pointsplus, as well. I would hate to cheat myself! Is this calculation from Weight Watchers themselves or just from the Diana’s Bananas company? Thanks!
