Weight Watchers has been with us for many years and has proved itself to be a tremendously successful diet program which focuses on balancing low fat nutrition, exercise and guidance.

A wide range of different foods are allotted a points score and members use a points calculator and simple to follow recipes provided by the program.

Members also attend counseling session in their home area to get advice and ideas and to help with the changes in lifestyle which go along with any diet plan. Members can also get online support together with online menus and calculators.

To further assist members, Weight Watchers make their own line of meals which can be purchased through many of the larger grocery chains.

A points score is given to a variety of foods based upon the portion size, the calories that portion contains, the quantity of fiber and the quantity of fat contained in every serving. Generally speaking, high fat foods have a high points score and foods which are high in fiber have a low points score. The daily allowance for dieters is then dependent on such things as his or her 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

(Note: in the term (min{r, 4}) no more than 4 grams of fiber are used in the calculation. So, if the actual figure is less than 4 this figure is used, but, where the figure is more than 4 then 4 is used.

Below are some examples of the points values given to certain foods:

Food	Calories	Fat (g)	Carbohydrates	Fiber	Points
Cheeseburger	330	14	35	2	7
Medium Fries	450	22	57	5	10
Quarter Pounder with cheese	430	30	38	2	13
