Food items are given a points value and members use recipes and a points "calculator" provided by the program.
Members are also encouraged to attend counseling sessions held locally for ideas and advice and to help with the changes in lifestyle that accompany any dieting program. Support is also provided online, in addition to online recipes, menus and calculators.
Furthermore, Weight Watchers create their own assortment of meals that may be purchased through various larger grocery chains.
The points value assigned to foods is calculated from the size of the portion, the quantity of fat, the number of calories and the amount of fiber in each serving. Generall speaking, high fat equals high points and high fiber equals low points. The daily allowance for dieters is then dependent upon such things as 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. In other words, if the actual figure is less than 4 this figure is used, however, whenever the figure is bigger than 4 then 4 is used.
Here are a variety of examples of the points allotted to specific foods:
