Options for Weight Watchers Food Products

By Erin Coleman, R.D., L.D. Registered and Licensed Dietitian

Foods and meals in the Weight Watchers program are assigned points, and you're allotted a certain number of points daily depending on your initial body weight and weight loss goals. Some packaged food brands and even certain restaurants have teamed up with Weight Watchers to promote this healthy point-based weight-loss program.
