Weight Watchers Take-Out Tonight! :
150+ Restaurant Favorites to Make at Home--All 8 POINTS or Less

Weight Watchers has been about for many years now and has proved to be a tremendously successful commercial diet program which focuses on a balance of exercise, low fat nutrition and counseling.

Items of food are assigned a points value and Weight Watchers members then use a points calculator and simple to follow recipes which are provided by the program.

Participants also attend counseling sessions locally for both ideas and advice and to help with the lifestyle changes which accompany any diet program. Members are also provided with online support and online menus and points calculators.

Additionally, Weight Watchers make their own range of meals that may be purchased at a number of the larger grocery chains.

A points value is allocated to foods based upon the size of the portion, the number of calories, the amount of fiber and the amount of fat contained in each serving. In general, high fat foods have a high points value and foods which are high in fiber have a low points value. A dieter's daily allowance then depends upon things like 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}) a maximum of 4 grams of fiber are used in the calculation. For instance, if the actual figure is less than 4 then this figure is used, but, where the figure is greater than 4 then 4 is used.

Below are just some examples of the points values given to particular foods:

Food	Calories	Fat (g)	Carbohydrates	Fiber	Points
Medium Fries	450	22	57	5	10
Corn on the cob	140	2	34	2	3
Quarter Pounder with cheese	430	30	38	2	13
Low-fat brownie sundae	326	3.2	72	4.6	6
Low-fat grilled chicken pasta	873	8.9	134.3	10.3	17
