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

Weight Watchers has been around for many years now and has proved itself to be a hugely successful commercial diet program that revolves around a balance of exercise, low fat nutrition and counseling.

A wide range of different foods are given a points score and members then make use of a points calculator and simple to follow recipes that are provided by the program.

Members are also encouraged to attend counseling session in their local area for both ideas and advice and to help with the changes in lifestyle that go along with any dieting plan. There is also online support as well as online menus and calculators.

As well, Weight Watchers make their own line of meals which can be bought through a number of the bigger grocery chains.

A points score is assigned to a variety of foods based upon the portion size, the calories that portion contains, the quantity of fiber and the amount of fat in each serving. In general, foods which are high in fat have a high points score and foods which are high in fiber have a low points score. The daily allowance for dieters then depends upon things like his or her body weight and how much weight he or she wants to lose.

The formula for calculating a points value is:

weight watchers formula

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

(Please note: when considering the term (min{r, 4}) no more than 4 grams of fiber are used in the calculation. In other words, if the actual dietary figure is less than 4 this figure is used, but, if the figure is greater than 4 then 4 is used.

Here you will find some examples of the points values given to particular foods:

Food	Calories	Fat (g)	Carbohydrates	Fiber	Points
Medium Fries	450	22	57	5	10
Cheeseburger	330	14	35	2	7
Corn on the cob	140	2	34	2	3
