Different foods are allotted a points value and members use a points "calculator" and recipes provided by the program.
Members are further encouraged to visit counseling sessions in their area for advice and ideas and to assist with the lifestyle changes which are inevitably associated with any dieting program. Support is also provided online, along with online menus, calculators and recipes.
Furthermore, Weight Watchers have their own line of meals which can be bought at various larger grocery stores.
A points value is assigned to foods calculated from the amount of fiber, the number of calories, the size of the portion and the quantity of fat in each serving. In general, high fat means a high points value and high fiber means 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 as follows:
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. This means that, if the actual figure is less than 4 this is used, however, in cases where the figure is bigger than 4 then 4 is used.
Here are a few examples of the points given to particular foods:
