Weight Watchers New 365 Day Menu Cookbook:
Complete Meals for Every Day of the Year

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

Different foods are allotted a points score and members make use of a points calculator and hundreds of easy to follow recipes that are provided by the program.

Participants are also encouraged to attend counseling sessions locally to get advice and ideas and to help with the lifestyle changes that go along with not just this but any dieting program. There is also online support and online menus and calculators.

In addition, Weight Watchers produce their own range of meals that may be purchased at many of the larger grocery chains.

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.

The formula used to calculate a points score is as follows:

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. So, if the actual figure is lower than 4 then this figure is used, however, if the figure is greater than 4 then 4 is used.

Below we have given some examples of the points given to particular foods:

Food	Calories	Fat (g)	Carbohydrates	Fiber	Points
Big Mac	590	34	47	3	14
Quarter Pounder with cheese	430	30	38	2	13
Medium Fries	450	22	57	5	10
Corn on the cob	140	2	34	2	3
