FAQs

What is the best food to eat on Weight Watchers? ›

Technically, yes. But you have to count the points for any non ZeroPoint ingredients you add to your oats.

For example, if you've met your points budget for the day, but still feel hungry you're technically allowed to eat as many zero-point foods as you want. And even though you've stuck to your budget, those foods still have calories. This piece of the equation can be most confusing for people who try WW.

Foods to limit

While the Points system allows members to choose any food they like, WeightWatchers discourages eating foods that are highly processed or high in added sugar and saturated fats, such as: sugary drinks. potato chips. processed meats.

An entire cup of most plain puffed cereal has only around 50 fat-free calories, so feel free to try puffed corn, puffed rice and other puffed stuff, too! One cup has 50 calories, 0 grams of fat, 1 to 2 grams of fiber and a POINTS value of 1.

Whether you fancy a quick sandwich or some tasty toast, Weight Watchers bread is perfect for meals which don't tip the scales. The Danish loaves are under 51 calories/slice or 1 SmartPoints® value per slice. Thick wholemeal bread is 64 calories/slice or 2 SmartPoints® value per slice.
