As a general rule, high fat foods will have a high points score and foods which are high in fiber will have a low points score. A dieter's daily allowance then depends on such things as body weight and target weight.

The points formula is as follows:

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. For example, if the actual dietary figure is lower than 4 then this figure is used, but, if the figure is greater than 4 then 4 is used.

Food	Calories	Fat (g)	Carbohydrates	Fiber	Points
