Weight Watchers has been around for a long time and is a hugely successful commercial diet program that concentrates on balancing exercise, low fat nutrition and guidance.

As if this were not enough, Weight Watchers make their own range of meals which can be bought through a lot of the larger grocery chains.

A points score is allotted to a variety of foods based upon the size of the portion, the calories that portion contains, the amount of fiber and the quantity of fat in each serving. Generally, high fat foods will have a high points score and foods which are high in fiber will have a low points score. A dieter's daily allowance then depends upon things like 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

(Note: in the term (min{r, 4}) a maximum of 4 grams of fiber are used in the calculation. For example, if the actual figure is less than 4 this figure is used, however, where the figure is greater than 4 then 4 is used.

Here are a few examples of the points values assigned to certain 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
