The weight watchers points system is a calculator, a practical necessity, for all those keen on losing weight. In this system, various food items are assigned points and people who are having a watch over their weight count the total points based on their food intake every day. The values of carbohydrates, fats, proteins and total calories of the food they consume, including fruits and vegetables that are combined with other ingredients, are calculated based on the Weight Watchers Points Plus system. This is done to ensure they stay within their intended goals on their weight.

Smoothies are great for breakfast or as a snack after your exercises because they can be made instantly.
