As well, Weight Watchers make their own range of meals that you can get through a number 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 amount of fat in each serving. Usually, high fat foods will have a high points value and high fiber foods will have a low points value.
