ZeroPoint® foods are a big deal around here for good reason. That’s because they’re—you guessed it—0 Points®.

These nutritional powerhouses were specifically chosen since they are nutrient-, vitamin-, and mineral-packed foods that serve as the foundation of healthy eating, and they’re generally critical to your overall health. And the best part? You don’t have to weigh, measure, or track them—no matter how often you reach for them. The best news? There is over 350 of them!

Every member* following the Points Program will have 11 ZeroPoint food groups on their list:

Vegetables
Fruit
Eggs
Yoghurt & cottage cheese
Fish & shellfish
Chicken & turkey breast
Tofu & tempeh
Corn & popcorn
Beans, peas & lentils
Oats
Lean meats

Just don’t forget that once you add any ingredients with a Points value to a ZeroPoint food (think oil, butter, dressings, or sauces), it won’t be 0 Points. Be sure to check a packaged item, like store-bought dip, for the full ingredients—or pop it into the Barcode Scanner in the app.

*Members following the Diabetes Program share a different ZeroPoint foods list, based on global public health guidelines - see full list here.
