weight-watcher
Careful eater type
A weight-watcher is someone who monitors their body weight, typically trying to lose pounds or maintain a target.
The term suggests ongoing vigilance rather than a single diet: She's been a weight-watcher for years.
Often capitalized when referring to members of Weight Watchers, the commercial diet program.
