Food items are assigned a points value and Weight Watchers members then use a points calculator and simple to follow recipes which are provided by the program.

A points value is allocated to foods according to the size of the portion, the number of calories, the amount of fiber and the quantity of fat contained in every serving. In general, high fat foods have a high points value and foods which are high in fiber have a low points value.
