Weight Watchers has been around for a long time now and is a very successful diet program which centers on a balance of exercise, low fat nutrition and guidance.

Food is given a points value and Weight Watchers members use a points calculator and hundreds of great recipes which are provided by the program.

Participants also attend counseling sessions locally to get both ideas and advice and to help with the changes in lifestyle which accompany not just this but any diet plan. Members can also get online support as well as online points calculators and menus.

To further help participants, Weight Watchers make their own line of meals that may be purchased at a lot of the bigger grocery chains.

A points value is allotted to various foods based upon the size of the portion, the calories that portion contains, the quantity of fiber and the amount of fat contained in every serving. As a general rule, high fat foods 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 target weight.

The formula for calculating a points value is:

weight watchers formula

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

(Note: in the term (min{r, 4}) no more than 4 grams of fiber are used in the calculation. Accordingly, if the actual figure is under 4 this figure is used, however, if the figure is over 4 then 4 is used.

Here are a few examples of the points assigned to particular foods:

Food	Calories	Fat (g)	Carbohydrates	Fiber	Points
Quarter Pounder with cheese	430	30	38	2	13
Low-fat Asian chicken salad	714	9	121	9.6	14
Low-fat grilled chicken pasta	873	8.9	134.3	10.3	17
Big Mac	590	34	47	3	14
Corn on the cob	140	2	34	2	3
