Weight Watchers Make It in Minutes:
Easy Recipes in 15, 20, and 30 Minutes

Weight Watchers has been about for a long time and is a fabulously successful commercial diet program which centers on a balance of exercise, low fat nutrition and guidance.

Items of food are assigned a points score and Weight Watchers members then make use of a points calculator and hundreds of easy to follow recipes that are provided by the program.

Members also attend counseling session in their home area for both advice and ideas and to help with the lifestyle changes which go along with any diet program. Members are also provided with online support as well as online menus and points calculators.

To further help participants, Weight Watchers make their own line of meals which you can purchase at many of the larger grocery chains.

A points score is allocated to various foods according to the size of the portion, the calories that portion contains, the quantity of fiber and the amount of fat contained in every serving. As a general rule, foods which are high in fat have a high points score and foods which are high in fiber have a low points score. A dieter's daily allowance is then dependent upon things like his or her body weight and the desired weight loss.

The formula for calculating a points value is as follows:

weight watchers formula

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

(Please note: when considering the term (min{r, 4}) no more than 4 grams of fiber are used in the calculation. That means that, if the actual figure is under 4 then this figure is used, but, where the figure is greater than 4 then 4 is used.

Below you can see a few examples of the points given to particular foods:

Food	Calories	Fat (g)	Carbohydrates	Fiber	Points
Big Mac	590	34	47	3	14
Low-fat Asian chicken salad	714	9	121	9.6	14
Cheeseburger	330	14	35	2	7
Quarter Pounder with cheese	430	30	38	2	13
