A wide range of different foods are assigned a points score and members then make use of a points calculator and a wide range of recipes that are provided by the program. Members also attend counseling session in their home area to get both ideas and advice and to help with the changes in lifestyle that go along with not just this but any diet program. There is also online support together with online menus and points calculators. To further help participants, Weight Watchers produce their own range of meals which you can buy at a number of the bigger grocery chains. A points score is given to foods based upon the size of the portion, the number of calories, the amount of fiber and the amount of fat in every serving. Generally speaking, high fat foods have a high points score and foods which are high in fiber have a low points score. The daily allowance for dieters then depends upon such things as his or her body weight and amount of weight loss he or she wishes to achieve. The points formula is:
Where: p = Points | c = Calories | f = Fat Grams | r = Dietary fiber Grams (Note: when considering the term (min{r, 4}) no more than 4 grams of fiber are used in the calculation. For instance, if the actual figure is less than 4 then this figure is used, however, where the figure is more than 4 then 4 is used. Below you can see a few examples of the points scores assigned to certain foods:
