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

Weight Watchers has been around for a long time now and is a hugely successful commercial diet program that centers on balancing exercise, low fat nutrition and guidance.

A wide range of different foods are assigned a points value and Weight Watchers members then use a points calculator and hundreds of easy to follow recipes provided by the program.

Participants are also encouraged to attend counseling sessions locally for both ideas and advice and to help with the changes in lifestyle that accompany any dieting plan. Members are also provided with online support as well as online menus and calculators.

Additionally, Weight Watchers produce their own range of meals which can be bought at many of the larger grocery chains.

A points value is allocated to various foods based upon the portion size, the calories that portion contains, the amount of fiber and the amount of fat in every serving. Normally, foods which are high in fat have a high points value and high fiber foods have a low points value. The daily allowance for dieters then depends upon such things as his or her body weight and amount of weight loss he or she wishes to achieve.

The formula used to calculate a points score is as follows:

weight watchers formula

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

(Note: in the term (min{r, 4}) no more than 4 grams of fiber are used in the calculation. That means that, if the actual dietary figure is lower than 4 this figure is used, but, if the figure is greater than 4 then 4 is used.

Below you can see some examples of the points values given to particular foods:

Food	Calories	Fat (g)	Carbohydrates	Fiber	Points
Corn on the cob	140	2	34	2	3
Big Mac	590	34	47	3	14
Cheeseburger	330	14	35	2	7
