In addition, Weight Watchers have their own line of meals that can be bought through a lot of the larger grocery chains.

A points score is assigned to various foods based upon the portion size, the calories that portion contains, the amount of fiber and the quantity of fat in each serving. As a rule, foods which are high in fat will have a high points score and foods which are high in fiber will have a low points score. A dieter's daily allowance then depends on such things as his or her body weight and amount of weight loss he or she wishes to achieve.

The formula used to calculate a points score is:

weight watchers formula

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

(Note: when considering the term (min{r, 4}) a maximum of 4 grams of fiber are used in the calculation. So, if the actual figure is under 4 this figure is used, however, where the figure is more than 4 then 4 is used.
