Weight Watchers Take-Out Tonight! :
150+ Restaurant Favorites to Make at Home--All 8 POINTS or Less

Weight Watchers has been around for many years now and is a hugely successful diet program which revolves around a balance of low fat nutrition, exercise and counseling.

Food is given a points score and Weight Watchers members use a points calculator and hundreds of great recipes which are provided by the program.

Participants are also encouraged to attend local counseling sessions for both ideas and advice and to assist with the changes in lifestyle which go along with any dieting plan. Members also have access to online support together with online menus and points calculators.

Additionally, Weight Watchers have their own line of meals that can be purchased at many of the larger grocery chains.

A points score is given to foods according to the portion size, the calories that portion contains, the quantity of fiber and the amount of fat contained in each serving. As a general rule, high fat foods will have a high points score and high fiber foods will have a low points score. The daily allowance for dieters is then dependent upon such things as body weight and target weight.

The points formula 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}) a maximum of 4 grams of fiber are used in the calculation. Accordingly, 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 certain foods:

Food	Calories	Fat (g)	Carbohydrates	Fiber	Points
Medium Fries	450	22	57	5	10
Big Mac	590	34	47	3	14
Corn on the cob	140	2	34	2	3
