Members also have access to online support together with online calculators and menus. To further help participants, Weight Watchers produce their own line of meals which may be purchased through a lot of the larger grocery chains. A points value is given to a variety of foods according to the portion size, the calories that portion contains, the quantity of fiber and the quantity of fat contained in each serving. In general, foods which are high in fat will have a high points value and high fiber foods will have a low points value.
