How to Eat Out With Weight Watcher Points

For almost 50 years, Weight Watchers continues to help people lose weight with points programs. Throughout the decades, the Weight Watchers diet and exercise programs have changed. The current system utilizes a system of points, based on how much fat, carbohydrates, protein and fiber is in foods.



A person using the Weight Watchers system is allowed a specific number of points per day that he or she can eat. Some restaurants offer points information on their menus. Others publish nutritional information online or have it available at the location, allowing anyone with a Weight Watchers points calculator to figure out the points of a given food.
