About ZeroPoint foods
Scrambled eggs. Stir-fried chicken and veggies. Lean steak and baked potato. Nonfat yogurt dotted with blueberries. That’s just a taste of the delicious ZeroPoint foods you’ll dig into on the WeightWatchers® program. ZeroPoint foods have—you guessed it—0 Points® because they serve as the foundation of healthy eating. (How does the Points system work? Click here!) Full of fiber and protein, these foods also support overall health, keep you full, and bulk up and add flavor to your meals. And, of course, you can eat as much as you like.
3 ways to eat the zero heroes
ZeroPoint foods help make our program flexible while guiding you toward healthier eating habits. Here are some ideas on how you can incorporate them into your day of eating.
- Create a base. Start with ZeroPoint foods like savoury turkey meatballs or zuchinni noodles, then add other ingredients that have a Points value (a favourite sauce, cheese, a slice of garlic bread) to build out your meal.
- Pump up a dish. Toss ZeroPoint foods like crunchy mixed veggies or hearty lentils into soups, stews, or pastas to make a meal more filling while adding texture and flavour.
- Tame hunger. ZeroPoint foods are ideal go-to snacks when your stomach is grumbling or you want to avoid that hangry feeling. Crunchy popcorn, banana and yoghurt, or hummus with veggie dippers, anyone?
