With the new winning points, it's a little different than it was with 123. They cover it pretty completely in the January/February issue of weight watcher's magazine in an article called "The Winning Way to Winning Points". Basically, they give you a quiz, and depending on what type of eater you are (The Balanced Eater (BE), The Carb Queen (CQ), or The Protein Packer (PP)), they recommend different servings of protein, carbs etc. For example, if you're a BE, 6-8 servings of protein foods are recommended, for a CQ, 4-6, for a PP, 8 -10. There's also an article giving different people's opinions of what works for them and why. If you can get a copy, I highly recommend it, especially the articles where the people explained what worked for them. All of this is part of the new program - trying to keep different types of eaters satisfied and on track. Also, in the front of the weekly journals they give you, there's this list:
"8 steps to a healthy weight
1. Pay attention to serving sizes.
2. Choose at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables a day.
3. Choose at least 2 servings of milk and milk products a day 93 if you're a teen or over 50).
4. Include protein-rich foods in your diet.
5. Choose a variety of grains daily, especially whole grains.
6. Limit alcohol, high-sugar, and high-fat foods.
7. Drink at least 6 glasses of water every day.
8. Insure your nutritional well-being by taking a multiple vitamin-mineral supplement every day."
Hope this helps - good luck!
