food points and diets

Breakfast was seriously “eggsellant” ~ only 5 POINTS PLUS for this entire plate.

My new take on Green Eggs n Ham!
1 egg (2 pts+)
1/3 cup 100% Liquid Egg Whites (1/2 cup is the same points+) (1 pts+)
2 oz Lean Ham (2 pts+)
1 zucchini quartered and slices
1 green onion, chopped
Hot Sauce, Sea Salt, Black Pepper
Sprinkle of Chives ~ because I had them
All scrambled in a nonstick pan.  You could easily make this in muffin cups and cook in the oven at 350 for 20 minutes.
It was delicious and totally made me want to make another Ham just so I could make it again!  The best part, I was full ALL morning ~ 5 hours!
I am finally working my way through our leftovers ~ today I went for Soup & a sandwich. 
This was the last of the 17 bean ham and vegetable soup  (5 Points Plus)

After learning 1 slice of my oatmeal bread is 2 points plus and 2 slices is 5, I decided I could easily whip up a “loaded” half a sandwich and not mix the other slice of bread.

My entire Cranberry Pineapple Ham Sandwich was only FOUR Points Plus! Awesome!
1 Slice nature's path oatmeal bread (2 points plus)
2 oz Lean Ham (2 points plus)
2 slices pineapple (ZERO POINTS!)
Spinach
Cranberry Mustard!!! (0 points!)
Dessert was a couple of these “cuties” for ZERO points plus

Happiness! It’s so crazy to think that I didn’t even use half my points!  I still had 18 Points Plus remaining going into dinner
The Husband and I decided it’s been wayyyyy too long since we visited our friends at Vasquez Deli ~ the BEST tacos in the world!  They even make their tortillas from scratch.
Since Vasquez doesn’t have their nutritional information online, I looked up the points in my Complete Food Companion.  You could do the same online or Weight Watchers Mobile.
I used to be able to get 2 for 8 points, now they are 2 for 10 points plus ~ still worth it to me!

This really is the best spicy shreaded chicken ever!….it’s so juicy, spicy and melts in your mouth!

Since I STILL had 8 points left, I couldn’t resist a few bites of his cheesy quesadilla ~ I could honestly just eat their homemade tortillas straight up. I <3 carby-goodness!

Day 3 = DINING OUT WITH SUCCESS!


I LOVED reading all of your Points Plus Shockers & Surprises.  I found myself going yeah!, and OMG, nooooo as I read some of the things you have found.  I LOVE that you all have made me think about some of the things I now want to AVOID buying
Q’s:
1.  What have you found to be your FAVORITE Weight Watchers Points Plus tool for looking points plus values up?
For me, I was hoping the DROID App would be a FULL app, but, it’s just a points calculator   I honestly use my Companion Books because they are quick to grab and my online tracker when I am neat the computer
Night all!
