Food items are assigned a points value and members use recipes and a points "calculator" provided by the program.
Members are also encouraged to drop in on counseling sessions in their area for advice and ideas and to assist with the lifestyle changes that naturally accompany any dieting program. Online help is also provided, as well as online calculators, recipes and menus.
In addition, Weight Watchers have their own assortment of meals which may be purchased in many of the larger grocery chains.
A points value is assigned to foods 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 then depends upon such things as body weight and the desired weight loss.
The points formula used 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 dietary figure is less than 4 this figure is used, but, where the figure is greater than 4 then 4 is used.
Here are a variety of examples of the points allotted to specific foods:
