Weight Watchers New 365 Day Menu Cookbook:
Complete Meals for Every Day of the Year

Weight Watchers has been about for a long time and has proved to be a hugely successful commercial diet program that revolves around a balance of exercise, low fat nutrition and counseling.

Different foods are given a points score and members use a points calculator and recipes which are provided by the program.

Participants are also encouraged to attend local counseling sessions for advice and ideas and to assist with the lifestyle changes that go along with not just this but any dieting program. Members are also provided with online support together with online points calculators and menus.

Additionally, Weight Watchers make their own line of meals which you can get through a number of the larger grocery chains.

A points score is given to various foods according to the portion size, the number of calories, the quantity of fiber and the quantity of fat contained in every serving. As a rule, high fat foods will have a high points score and foods which are high in fiber will have a low points score. The daily allowance for dieters then depends upon things like 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}) a maximum of 4 grams of fiber are used in the calculation. Accordingly, if the actual dietary figure is under 4 then this figure is used, but, if the figure is more than 4 then 4 is used.

Below we have given a few examples of the points values assigned to particular foods:

Food	Calories	Fat (g)	Carbohydrates	Fiber	Points
Quarter Pounder with cheese	430	30	38	2	13
Low-fat Asian chicken salad	714	9	121	9.6	14
Medium Fries	450	22	57	5	10
Low-fat grilled chicken pasta	873	8.9	134.3	10.3	17
