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

International Weight Watchers has been around for a long time now and has proved itself to be a hugely successful diet program which concentrates on a balance of low fat nutrition, exercise and guidance.

A wide range of different foods are allotted a points value and Weight Watchers members make use of a points calculator and hundreds of easy to follow recipes provided by the program.

Members are also encouraged to attend counseling session in their home area to get both advice and ideas and to help with the changes in lifestyle which go along with any dieting plan. Members also have access to online support together with online points calculators and menus.

Additionally, Weight Watchers produce their own line of meals which you can get at a lot of the larger grocery chains.

A points value is given to a variety of foods based upon the size of the portion, the calories that portion contains, the quantity of fiber and the quantity of fat contained in each serving. As a rule, foods which are high in fat will have a high points value and foods which are high in fiber will have a low points value. The daily allowance for dieters is then dependent upon things like his or her body weight and how much weight he or she wants to lose.

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: when considering the term (min{r, 4}) no more than 4 grams of fiber are used in the calculation. For instance, if the actual dietary figure is less than 4 this figure is used, however, where the figure is over 4 then 4 is used.

Below are just a few examples of the points values given to particular foods:

Food	Calories	Fat (g)	Carbohydrates	Fiber	Points
Medium Fries	450	22	57	5	10
Quarter Pounder with cheese	430	30	38	2	13
Low-fat brownie sundae	326	3.2	72	4.6	6
Cheeseburger	330	14	35	2	7
