You count points which is much easier because WW has already prefigured the points. Plus there is a phone app which will instantly tell you the points value, and you can scan barcodes on canned items.

So many foods are zero point value foods it is quite easy to eat a very healthy and satisfying variety of foods.

All veg except potatoes and sweet potatoes: zero points
Beans and legumes: zero points
All fruit: zero points
Fat free cottage cheese, plain Greek yogurt zero points
Eggs zero points
Chicken breast and turkey breast: zero points
other meats estimate 1 point per ounce.

Pinterest has tons of WW recipes with points already figured.
