Different foods are assigned a points value and members use a points "calculator" and recipes provided by the program.
Members are further encouraged to go to local counseling sessions for advice and ideas and to help with the lifestyle changes which naturally accompany any diet program. Online support is also available, in addition to online menus, recipes and calculators.
Additionally, Weight Watchers have their own line of meals that can be purchased in many larger grocery stores.
A points value is assigned to foods based upon the number of calories, the size of the portion, the quantity of fat and the amount of fiber in each serving. As a rule, high fat means a high points value and high fiber means a low points value. The daily allowance for members is then dependent upon things like body weight and the desired weight loss.
The points formula 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. This means that, if the actual figure is less than 4 this is used, but, where the figure is larger than 4 then 4 is used.
Here are various examples of the points assigned to specific foods:
