A points score is assigned to various foods according to the portion size, the calories that portion contains, the amount of fiber and the quantity of fat in every serving. Usually, high fat foods have a high points score and high fiber foods have a low points score. The daily allowance for dieters is then dependent upon such things as his or her body weight and amount of weight loss he or she wishes to achieve.
