Lil, it used to be very easy to figure out, but now its some formula that WW won't publish as far as I can tell that factors gender, weight, and amount of normal activity in your workday.
I don't know what you weigh, but I'm relatively certain you will be below 30 pts per day.
I'm not familar with the bracelets but I can guess how they work - for me personally it wouldn't be a good tool. Without using a journaling tool you are likely to guess on pt values and guess wrong.
I find journaling to be the best way, it allows you to reflect back over a particularly good or bad week and determine what you did wrong or right and adjust appropriately.
WW also operates on a 8 healthy guideline system and you are likely to be more successful when you spend your points making sure you meet those guidelines. The guidelines are:
1. Eat at least five servings of vegetables and fruits each day.
2. Choose whole-grain foods, such as brown rice and oats, whenever possible.
3. Include two servings of milk products – low fat (1%) or fat-free – each day.
4. Have some healthy oil (olive oil, canola, sunflower, safflower or flaxseed) each day.
5. Ensure that you are getting enough protein by choosing at least a serving or two of meat, poultry, fish, eggs, or dried beans each day. Many dairy products are also good sources of protein.
6. Limit added sugar and alcohol.
7. Drink at least 6 8-ounce glasses of water a day.
8. Take a multiple vitamin-mineral supplement each day.
