Zero Points


On the old WeightWatchers point system (not the new points plus) I found a lot of ZERO POINT FOODS!! OMG and I love them... points are determined by balancing calories, fat and fiber.
50 calories = 1 point
12 grams of fat = 1 point
5 grams of fiber = -1 point

So... of course all the green vegitables are zero... superfoods like blackberries and blueberries are zero... natural apple sauce etc...

Since WW didn't count half points, you do have to be careful with some zero point finds because when you eat enough of them, they do become points.

So... a few fabulous ZERO (or almost) POINT FOODS to check out!!

- MISSION carb balance tortillas
- FlatOut flat bread
- FiberOne Yogurt
- FiberOne Cereals
- FiberOne Cereal/granola bars
- Quaker high fiber Oatmeal
- Progresso Light soups
-
I'll add more to this list soon, but for now I need to get to bed!!

  1. I've been trying to be healthy by eating better and exercising but since I have no real plan I have been failing miserably. However, seeing you continue and making progress is inspiring me to keep trying. In fact, after reading today's posts I put that bag of M&Ms down... Haha. I'm considering that a win. Tomorrow I will start again! Thanks for inspiring me Lindsay! =]

  2. HAHA Chels, rule #1: have a plan =) Sit down and write out your goals. Once you have those, you'll need to come up with a few steps you are going to hold yourself to making in order to reach those goals! You can totally do this =)
