Food is given a points score and Weight Watchers members then make use of a points calculator and simple to follow recipes provided by the program. Participants are also encouraged to attend counseling sessions locally to get both advice and ideas and to help with the changes in lifestyle which go along with any diet plan. Members can also get online support and online points calculators and menus. To further assist members, Weight Watchers have their own line of meals which can be purchased through many of the bigger grocery chains. A points score is allocated to foods according to the portion size, the number of calories, the amount of fiber and the amount of fat in each serving. Normally, high fat foods have a high points score and high fiber foods have a low points score.
