[ We claim:] [17.] A process for weight control comprising the steps of:storing data in a computer memory from which can be obtained a numerical whole number point value for each of a variety of food servings based on the calories, fat and dietary fiber content of the serving wherein each numerical point value is based on a predetermined fraction of the energy content of the food serving increased on the basis of fat content and decreased on the basis of fiber content;obtaining said numerical whole number point value for candidate food servings for a day's menu;determining a minimum and maximum whole number numerical daily point total appropriate to produce a restricted daily energy intake based on the current weight of the individual;calculating the sum of the numerical point values for said candidate food servings;determining whether the calculated sum lies within the determined minimum and maximum; andingesting the food servings corresponding to a total lying within said determined minimum and maximum.
