Weight Watchers Make It in Minutes:
Easy Recipes in 15, 20, and 30 Minutes

Weight Watchers has been with us for a long time now and is a hugely successful diet program that focuses on a balance of exercise, low fat nutrition and counseling.

Different foods are allotted a points score and members then make use of a points calculator and a wide range of recipes that are provided by the program.

Members also attend counseling sessions locally to get both advice and ideas and to help with the lifestyle changes that accompany not just this but any dieting plan. Members also have access to online support as well as online menus and calculators.

To further help participants, Weight Watchers make their own range of meals which may be purchased through many of the bigger grocery chains.

A points score is allocated to various foods according to the size of the portion, the number of calories, the amount of fiber and the amount of fat contained in each serving. As a general rule, foods which are high in fat have a high points score and high fiber foods 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: when considering the term (min{r, 4}) no more than 4 grams of fiber are used in the calculation. Accordingly, if the actual dietary figure is less than 4 then this figure is used, but, where the figure is more than 4 then 4 is used.

Here are some examples of the points values given to particular foods:

Food	Calories	Fat (g)	Carbohydrates	Fiber	Points
Low-fat Asian chicken salad	714	9	121	9.6	14
Low-fat grilled chicken pasta	873	8.9	134.3	10.3	17
Corn on the cob	140	2	34	2	3
Quarter Pounder with cheese	430	30	38	2	13
Big Mac	590	34	47	3	14
