ground chicken weight watchers recipes. Weight Watchers has been with us for a great many years now and is an extremely successful diet program that focuses on a balance of counseling, low fat nutrition and exercise.
|
Different foods are allotted a points value and members use recipes and a points "calculator" provided by the program.
Members are further encouraged to go to local counseling sessions for ideas and advice and to help with the changes in lifestyle that accompany any diet program. Online help is also provided, together with online recipes, menus and calculators.
As if this were not enough, Weight Watchers have their own line of meals which can be purchased through a variety of larger grocery chains.
The points value given to various different foods is based upon the size of the portion, the amount of fiber, the number of calories and the quantity of fat in each serving. As a rule, high fat foods have a high points value and high fiber foods have a low points value. The daily allowance for dieters then depends upon things like body weight and the desired weight loss.
The points formula used is:
Where: p = Points | c = Calories | f = Fat Grams | r = Dietary fiber Grams
(Note: in the term (minr, 4) a maximum of 4 grams of fiber is used in the calculation. This means that, if the actual figure is less than 4 this is used, but, where the figure is bigger than 4 then 4 is used.
Here are various examples of the points assigned to specific foods:
