Weight Watchers has been about for a long time now and has proved itself to be a fabulously successful commercial diet program which centers on a balance of exercise, low fat nutrition and guidance.

As well, Weight Watchers have their own range of meals which you can purchase through many of the bigger grocery chains.

A points score is given to various foods according to the size of the portion, the number of calories, the quantity of fiber and the quantity of fat in each serving. Generally, foods which are high in fat will have a high points score and foods which are high in fiber will have a low points score. A dieter's daily allowance is then dependent on such things as body weight and the desired weight loss.

The formula used to calculate a points score 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. In other words, if the actual figure is lower than 4 then this figure is used, however, where the figure is more than 4 then 4 is used.

Here we have given a few examples of the points values assigned to certain foods:

Food	Calories	Fat (g)	Carbohydrates	Fiber	Points
Low-fat brownie sundae	326	3.2	72	4.6	6
Medium Fries	450	22	57	5	10
