Weight Watchers Restaurant Point Values


Weight Watchers has been with us for a long time and is a tremendously successful commercial diet program that concentrates on a balance of low fat nutrition, exercise and guidance.

Different foods are assigned a points value and Weight Watchers members use a points calculator and hundreds of great recipes that are provided by the program.

Participants are also encouraged to attend counseling sessions locally for both advice and ideas and to assist with the changes in lifestyle that accompany any dieting program. Members can also get online support as well as online points calculators and menus.

Additionally, Weight Watchers make their own line of meals that can be purchased at 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 amount of fiber and the amount of fat contained in each serving. Normally, high fat foods will have a high points value and high fiber foods will have a low points value. A dieter's daily allowance then depends upon such things as his or her body weight and the desired weight loss.

The points formula is as follows:

weight watchers formula

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

(Please note: in 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 under 4 then this figure is used, but, where the figure is more than 4 then 4 is used.
