Food items are allotted a points value and members use a points "calculator" and recipes provided by the program.
Members are further encouraged to attend counseling sessions held locally for ideas and advice and to help with the changes in lifestyle which are inevitably associated with any diet program. There is also online support, together with online recipes, menus and calculators.
Additionally, Weight Watchers create their own assortment of meals that can be bought in many larger grocery stores.
The points value given to various different foods is calculated from the size of the portion, the number of calories, the quantity of fat and the amount of fiber in each serving. As a general rule, foods that are high in fat have a high points value and foods that are high in fiber have a low points value. The daily allowance for members then depends upon such things as body weight and the desired weight loss.
The points formula is:

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 figure is less than 4 this figure is used, but, in cases where the figure is bigger than 4 then 4 is used.
Here are various examples of the points given to particular foods:
