My mom did the weight watchers points program a while back and in the interest of research, I took the resources she recieved from the program once she was done with it. They give you some handy stuff, including a small book that explains the points values of many common items from both restaurants and the supermarket. They also give you a slider thing that you can use to calculate the points in the chance that the item you want to eat isn't in the book. It's easy to use, but if you forget it at home, you're hooped.

But now you can calculate points of your food on the internet -- click here for the calculator. You just enter the calories, fat and fibre in the food you're eating and voila, it comes up with the points value for you.

Pretty handy, huh?
