Food Ideas For Staying On Track

Finding low point foods that I enjoy is a major part of keeping me sane and loyal to Weight Watchers. I'll do anything to help stretch out those points and the greatest thing about the plan I'm on, The Flex Plan, is that I can still eat all of the things that I loved before! The following is a small list of some of my favorite low point foods. Please keep in mind that this list is a work in progress, and please let me know if you find something you think should be added!

(Note:  Please make sure to double-check nutritional information on packages, as it may change)
