aladdins eatery weight watchers points
Different foods are given a points value and members use recipes and a points "calculator" provided by the program.
Members are further encouraged to visit counseling sessions held locally for advice and ideas and to assist with the changes in lifestyle that are part of any diet program. Support is also provided online, along with online calculators, menus and recipes.
Furthermore, Weight Watchers produce their own assortment of meals that may be purchased through various larger grocery stores.
The points value assigned to foods is based upon the quantity of fat, the number of calories, the amount of fiber and the size of the portion in each serving. As a rule, high fat equals high points and high fiber equals low points. The daily allowance for dieters then depends upon such things as body weight and the desired weight loss.
The points formula used is:

Where: p = Points | c = Calories | f = Fat Grams | r = Dietary fiber Grams
(Note: in the term (minr, 4) a maximum of 4 grams of fiber is used in the calculation. In other words, if the actual dietary figure is less than 4 this is used, but, whenever the figure is greater than 4 then 4 is used.
Here are a few examples of the points given to particular foods:
