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

International Weight Watchers has been about for a long time now and has proved to be a fabulously successful commercial diet program which focuses on balancing exercise, low fat nutrition and counseling.

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

Participants also attend counseling sessions locally to get advice and ideas and to assist with the changes in lifestyle which go along with not just this but any diet plan. Members are also provided with online support and online calculators and menus.

To further assist members, Weight Watchers have their own line of meals which you can purchase at a number of the bigger grocery chains.

A points score is allotted to a variety of foods based upon the portion size, the number of calories, the quantity of fiber and the amount of fat contained in each serving. Generally, 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 then depends upon things like body weight and target weight.

The formula used to calculate a points score is:

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. For instance, if the actual figure is lower than 4 then this figure is used, however, if the figure is more than 4 then 4 is used.

Below you will find some examples of the points values assigned to particular foods:

Food	Calories	Fat (g)	Carbohydrates	Fiber	Points
Medium Fries	450	22	57	5	10
