150+ Restaurant Favorites to Make at Home--All 8 POINTS or Less

International Weight Watchers has been about for a long time now and is a fabulously successful diet program that concentrates on a balance of low fat nutrition, exercise and guidance.

Food items are assigned a points score and members make use of a points calculator and hundreds of great recipes which are provided by the program.

Members also attend local counseling sessions for both advice and ideas and to assist with the lifestyle changes that accompany any dieting plan. Members also have access to online support together with online calculators and menus.

Additionally, Weight Watchers produce their own line of meals that you can get through a number of the bigger grocery chains.

A points score is allotted to foods according to the portion size, the calories that portion contains, the quantity of fiber and the amount of fat in each serving. Generally, high fat foods have a high points score and foods which are high in fiber have a low points score. 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 points formula is:

weight watchers formula

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

(Please 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 less than 4 then this figure is used, but, where the figure is greater than 4 then 4 is used.

Below you will find some examples of the points scores assigned to certain foods:

Food	Calories	Fat (g)	Carbohydrates	Fiber	Points
Cheeseburger	330	14	35	2	7
