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

International Weight Watchers has been with us for a long time and is a hugely successful diet program which centers on a balance of low fat nutrition, exercise and counseling.

Different foods are given a points score and members then make use of a points calculator and hundreds of great recipes which are provided by the program.

Participants also attend counseling session in their local area for advice and ideas and to assist with the changes in lifestyle which go along with any diet program. Members also have access to online support and online menus and calculators.

As if this were not enough, Weight Watchers have their own line of meals that you can buy at a number of the bigger grocery chains.

A points score is given to a variety of foods based upon the size of the portion, the number of calories, the amount of fiber and the amount of fat in every serving. As a rule, 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 then depends on such things as body weight and target weight.

The formula used to calculate a points score is:

weight watchers formula

Where: p = Points | c = Calories | f = Fat Grams | r = Dietary fiber Grams

(Please note: in the term (min{r, 4}) a maximum of 4 grams of fiber are used in the calculation. For example, if the actual dietary figure is lower than 4 then this figure is used, however, where the figure is over 4 then 4 is used.

Here you can see some examples of the points values assigned to particular foods:

Food	Calories	Fat (g)	Carbohydrates	Fiber	Points
Low-fat brownie sundae	326	3.2	72	4.6	6
Cheeseburger	330	14	35	2	7
Low-fat grilled chicken pasta	873	8.9	134.3	10.3	17
