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

Weight Watchers has been with us for a long time and has proved itself to be a hugely successful diet program which revolves around a balance of exercise, low fat nutrition and guidance.

A wide range of different foods are allotted a points score and Weight Watchers members then make use of a points calculator and a wide range of recipes provided by the program.

Participants also attend counseling sessions locally for both advice and ideas and to help with the changes in lifestyle which go along with any dieting plan. Members are also provided with online support as well as online points calculators and menus.

To further assist members, Weight Watchers make their own range of meals which you can get at many of the bigger grocery chains.

A points score is allocated to various foods according to the portion size, the calories that portion contains, the quantity of fiber and the amount of fat in every serving. In general, foods which are high in fat have a high points score and high fiber foods have a low points score. The daily allowance for dieters then depends upon things like his or her body weight and target weight.

The formula used to calculate a points score 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. For example, if the actual figure is less than 4 this figure is used, but, if the figure is over 4 then 4 is used.

Here are just some examples of the points assigned to certain foods:

Food	Calories	Fat (g)	Carbohydrates	Fiber	Points
Low-fat Asian chicken salad	714	9	121	9.6	14
Medium Fries	450	22	57	5	10
Low-fat brownie sundae	326	3.2	72	4.6	6
