Weight Watchers Points have been with us for many years and have proved to be a tremendously successful addition the the Weight Watchers diet program. The Weight Watchers diet program revolves around a balance of low fat nutrition, exercise and guidance.

Food items are allotted a weight watchers points value and Weight Watchers members make use of a points calculator and a wide range of recipes provided by the program.

Members also attend local counseling sessions to get both ideas and advice and to help with the lifestyle changes that go along with not just this but any diet plan. Members also have access to online support together with online menus and weight watchers points calculators.

Additionally, Weight Watchers produce their own range of meals which you can get through a lot of the bigger grocery chains.

A weight watchers points value is allocated to foods according to the size of the portion, the calories that portion contains, the amount of fiber and the quantity of fat in each serving. As a rule, foods which are high in fat have a high points value and foods which are high in fiber have a low points value. The daily allowance for dieters then depends upon things like his or her body weight and the desired weight loss.

The formula for calculating a weight watchers points value is:

weight watchers formula

Where: p = Points | c = Calories | f = Fat Grams | r = Dietary fiber Grams

(Please note: when considering the term (min{r, 4}) no more than 4 grams of fiber are used in the calculation. That means that, if the actual dietary figure is less than 4 then this figure is used, however, if the figure is over 4 then 4 is used.

Below you can see a few examples of the weight watchers points values given to certain foods:

Food	Calories	Fat (g)	Carbohydrates	Fiber	Points
Medium Fries	450	22	57	5	10
Big Mac	590	34	47	3	14
