Different foods are assigned a points value and members use a points "calculator" and recipes provided by the program.
Members are also encouraged to go to counseling sessions in their area for ideas and advice and to assist with the changes in lifestyle which accompany any dieting program. Online support is also available, as well as online calculators, recipes and menus.
In addition, Weight Watchers make their own line of meals that may be purchased in various larger grocery stores.
The points value assigned to foods is calculated from the amount of fiber, the number of calories, the size of the portion and the quantity of fat in each serving. In the main, high fat equals high points and high fiber equals low points. The daily allowance for dieters then depends upon such things as body weight and the desired weight loss.
The points formula looks like this:

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. In other words, if the actual dietary figure is less than 4 this is used, however, if the figure is bigger than 4 then 4 is used.
Here are a variety of examples of the points given to particular foods:
