9 Foods You Didn't Realize Could be Zero Points
But should *definitely* try!
Fun fact of the day:the WeightWatchers® Programhas hundreds of ZeroPoint® foods that you never have to weigh, measure, or track. In other words, eating them won’t cost you a singlePoint. Zero, zilch, nada. Brilliant? Agree to agree.
Your list of ZeroPoint foods includes culinary staples like chicken, eggs, non-starchy veggies, beans, and more. These foods were chosen because they help form the foundation of healthy eating patterns. Loading your plate with these ingredients isn’t just good for your body—it’s great for weight loss.
How to use ZeroPoint foods
There’s no right or wrong way to dig into ZeroPoint foods, but these three ideas can help get you started:
Build on them.Choose one of your ZeroPoint foods as a base, then layer in flavor with other foods (some which may also be 0 Points and some that may not be). For example, you could start with skinless chicken breast, add diced tomatoes, and top with an ounce of mozzarella and basil. Lots of yum, very few Points.
Use them as a cushion.If you’re likely to run out of Points before the end of the day, turn to recipes made entirely of ZeroPoint ingredients, like a non-starchy vegetable-packedsoup, to finish within Budget. It’s like a freebie fill-up!
Save up your Points.Going out for dinner tonight? You could focus on ZeroPoint foods at breakfast and lunch so that you have more Points to play with later on. Then, when you crack the restaurant menu, you’ll have more flexibility to order exactly what you’re in the mood for.
