free weight watchers information on how many points a day. Weight Watchers has been part of our lives for a great many years now and is an incredibly successful diet program that focuses on a balance of low fat nutrition, exercise and counseling.

Food items are allotted a points value and members use recipes and a points "calculator" provided by the program.
Members are further encouraged to drop in on local counseling sessions for ideas and advice and to assist with the lifestyle changes which naturally accompany any dieting program. Support is also provided online, in addition to online menus, recipes and calculators.
Additionally, Weight Watchers have their own assortment of meals which can be bought in many larger grocery stores.
The points value assigned to foods is based upon the size of the portion, the quantity of fat, the number of calories and the amount of fiber in each serving. As a general rule, foods that are high in fat have a high points value and foods that are high in fiber have 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. In other words, if the actual dietary figure is less than 4 this figure is used, but, in cases where the figure is greater than 4 then 4 is used.
Here are several examples of the points given to specific foods:
