Additionally, Weight Watchers make their own range of meals that may be purchased through a number of the larger grocery chains.

A points value is assigned to various foods based upon the portion size, the number of calories, the quantity of fiber and the quantity of fat in every serving. Generally, high fat foods will have a high points value and foods which are high in fiber will have a low points value. The daily allowance for dieters is then dependent on things like his or her body weight and amount of weight loss he or she wishes to achieve.

The formula for calculating a points value is:

weight watchers formula

Where: p = Points | c = Calories | f = Fat Grams | r = Dietary fiber Grams

(Please note: when considering the term (min{r, 4}) no more than 4 grams of fiber are used in the calculation. Accordingly, if the actual figure is less than 4 then this figure is used, however, where the figure is greater than 4 then 4 is used.

Here you will find a few examples of the points scores given to particular foods:

Food	Calories	Fat (g)	Carbohydrates	Fiber	Points
