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

Items of food are allotted a points score and Weight Watchers members make use of a points calculator and a wide range of recipes which are provided by the program.

To further help participants, Weight Watchers produce their own line of meals which you can purchase at many of the larger grocery chains.

A points score is assigned to a variety of foods based upon the portion size, the calories that portion contains, the quantity of fiber and the quantity of fat contained in every serving. Normally, high fat foods have a high points score and foods which are high in fiber 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

(Note: in the term (min{r, 4}) no more than 4 grams of fiber are used in the calculation. Accordingly, if the actual figure is under 4 then this figure is used, however, if the figure is more than 4 then 4 is used.

Below are just some examples of the points given to particular foods:

Food	Calories	Fat (g)	Carbohydrates	Fiber	Points
Big Mac	590	34	47	3	14
Corn on the cob	140	2	34	2	3
Cheeseburger	330	14	35	2	7
