A points value is assigned to foods according to the portion size, the calories that portion contains, the quantity of fiber and the quantity of fat in each serving. As a general rule, foods which are high in fat will have a high points value and high fiber foods will have a low points value. A dieter's daily allowance is then dependent on such things as body weight and how much weight he or she wants to lose. The formula used to calculate a points score is:
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.
