Like we did with our previous SmartPoints® system, we look at calories and big-picture, complex nutrient data to create a food’s PersonalPoints value. But our algorithm factors in even more nutritional elements to guide you toward foods higher in unsaturated fats, fiber, and protein and lower in added sugars and saturated fats. ZeroPoint foods have—you guessed it—zero PersonalPoints.

These nutritional powerhouses are full of lean protein, fiber, and healthy fats, so they serve as the foundation of healthy eating and are generally critical to your overall health. ZeroPoint foods also add bulk and flavor to meals, not Points® to your Budget, so you don’t have to weigh, track, or measure them—no matter how many you eat in a day.

Your ZeroPoint Food Questions, Answered!

They’re real, wholesome nutritional powerhouses you can think of as your grocery-shopping go-tos because they form the foundation of a healthy pattern of eating. These foods—ranging from fruits and veggies, lean chicken and turkey breast, fish and shellfish, to whole-wheat pasta and potatoes—encourage variety. They’re also regular, everyday foods that are easy to have on hand.


If you’re concerned about overeating ZeroPoint foods because they’re, well, zero, here’s some guidance: Eat them in your usual portion sizes. If eggs are one of your ZeroPoint foods and you normally eat two at breakfast, stick to that. If you’re still hungry later, have another one—you’ll soon figure out the right portion for you. Remember to use ZeroPoint foods as a base to build a healthy meal; as a flavor booster in salads, omelets, sandwiches, and more; or as a simple snack that will help you stay full and satisfied.


These foods are recommended by national and international guidelines (including those by the World Health Organization) as a part of a healthy pattern of eating. And, of course, they’re delicious! That’s how we landed on fruits; non-starchy veggies; chicken and turkey breast; fish and shellfish; beans, peas, and lentils; tofu and tempeh; nonfat yogurt and cottage cheese; potatoes and sweet potatoes; corn and popcorn; whole-wheat pasta; brown rice, quinoa, and other whole grains; oatmeal; eggs; and avocados.
