> I was thinking – what if I assigned a particular number of points to each food I eat and try to keep points under certain threshold daily, and, which is more critical, weekly.

Yup, even the weekly total is very similar to the Weight Watchers system.

I think the insight is that you don’t really have to track down the points for everything you eat. you can guesstimate how many points something is and the measurement error will come out in the wash after you calibrate it to observes weight loss / gain. Pretty neat IMHO!
