Items of food are allotted a points score and Weight Watchers members make use of a points calculator and simple to follow recipes provided by the program. Participants also attend counseling sessions locally for both advice and ideas and to help with the changes in lifestyle which go along with any dieting program. There is also online support as well as online menus and calculators. In addition, Weight Watchers have their own line of meals which you can get at a lot of the larger grocery chains. A points score is allocated to foods based upon the portion size, the calories that portion contains, the quantity of fiber and the quantity of fat contained in each serving. As a rule, foods which are high in fat have a high points score and high fiber foods have a low points score. A dieter's daily allowance then depends on such things as his or her body weight and target weight. The formula used to calculate a points score is:

Accordingly, if the actual dietary figure is lower than 4 this figure is used, however, if the figure is over 4 then 4 is used. Below are just some examples of the points assigned to particular foods:
