penn station weight watchers points. Weight Watchers has been about for a very long time now and is an extremely successful diet program which focuses on a balance of low fat nutrition, exercise and counseling.
|
Different foods are assigned a points value and members use recipes and a points "calculator" provided by the program.
Members are also encouraged to go to counseling sessions held locally for ideas and advice and to help with the changes in lifestyle that accompany any diet program. There is also online support, as well as online menus, recipes and calculators.
Additionally, Weight Watchers create their own assortment of meals that may be purchased through many of the larger grocery chains.
The points value assigned to foods is based upon the size of the portion, the number of calories, the amount of fiber and the quantity of fat in each serving. Generall speaking, high fat foods have a high points value and high fiber foods have a low points value. The daily allowance for dieters is then dependent upon things like 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 dietary figure is less than 4 this figure is used, but, wherever the figure is larger than 4 then 4 is used.
Here are just a few examples of the points allotted to specific foods:
