International Weight Watchers has been about for many years now and is an incredibly successful diet program which concentrates on a balance of exercise, low fat nutrition and guidance.

Food items are given 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 are also encouraged to attend counseling session in their local area for both ideas and advice and to help with the changes in lifestyle which accompany any dieting program. Members also have access to online support and online menus and points calculators.

As well, Weight Watchers have their own range of meals which you can get at a lot of the larger grocery chains.

A points score is given to a variety of foods according to the portion size, the calories that portion contains, the quantity of fiber and the quantity of fat contained in each serving. In general, high fat foods have a high points score and high fiber foods have a low points score. A dieter's daily allowance is then dependent on things like body weight and target weight.

The formula for calculating a points value is as follows:

weight watchers formula

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

(Please note: in the term (min{r, 4}) no more than 4 grams of fiber are used in the calculation. That means that, if the actual dietary figure is lower than 4 then this figure is used, but, if the figure is more than 4 then 4 is used.

Here you will find some examples of the points values assigned to certain foods:

Food	Calories	Fat (g)	Carbohydrates	Fiber	Points
Big Mac	590	34	47	3	14
Cheeseburger	330	14	35	2	7
Quarter Pounder with cheese	430	30	38	2	13
Low-fat Asian chicken salad	714	9	121	9.6	14
Low-fat grilled chicken pasta	873	8.9	134.3	10.3	17
