Yup, I like to eat.

One of my Instagram buddies asked me about creating a Weight Watchers friendly meal plan.  So for the past few days I've been thinking about it, and...well, basically I decided to just tell you a few things I eat a lot of because let's be honest, it's the easy way out.  Ha.  Just kidding.  But it is what's worked for me -- I mean, I've lost (or had lost before vacation) 90 pounds without exercising so it can't be that bad.

Breakfast

  • Plain oatmeal (Quaker Oats) w/ 1 tsp brown sugar (or Splenda) and cinnamon (4 pp)
  • Cheerios (1 cup), fat-free milk (3/4 cup), a banana slices (4 pp -- one of my faves!)
  • Dannon Light & Fit vanilla greek yogurt with a banana and a toasted light english muffin with spray butter (5 pp)
  • Sliced hard-boiled egg and light english muffin breakfast sandwich (5 pp)
  • "Fried" egg sandwich -- egg cooked on top of stove with cooking spray, 2 pieces of Sara Lee 45-calorie whole wheat break, and 1 tbsp fat-free mayo (4 pp)
Lunch
  • Salad (whatever veggies you like) with 2 chopped hardboiled eggs and a tablespoon of fat-free dressing (about 5 pp depending upon your dressing)
  • Plain sweet potato (medium), sliced turkey breast (3 oz which, for me, is usually about 3 slices), Sargento ultra thin sliced provolone (3 slices), raw veggie (like baby carrots) or apple slices (8 pp)
  • PB2 (2 servings) & banana sandwich made with Sara Lee 45 calorie bread and a Yoplait or  Dannon Light & Fit greek yogurt with a fruit or raw veggie (6 pp)
  • Leftovers -- I usually just have what I ate for dinner but try not to exceed 8 or 9 pp 
Dinner
  • Emily Bites Deep Dish Pizza Casserole (8 pp)
  • Baked ziti -- pretty sure the recipe is on my IG, but I'll try to get it up on here soon...you basically just sub the pizza casserole dough for whole wheat pasta (9 pp for 1/4 of the whole thing)
  • Chicken parmesan -- 1 Perdue lightly breaded chicken breast cutlet (cooked), then add a tablespoon of tomato sauce and 1/4 cup fat free mozzarella cheese and stick back in oven until melted; serve with veggies...I like green beans and broccoli (5 pp for 1 piece of chicken and toppings)
  • Chicken taco bowl -- 3 oz crockpot salsa chicken (chicken, taco seasoning, salsa), 1 cup brown rice, 1/2 cup black beans, 1/4 cup fat free cheddar, 1 tbsp fat free sour cream (about 11 pp)
  • Cheeseburger Macaroni (9 pp)
  • Chicken Tetrazzini (8 pp)
  • Chicken burger -- WW Chicken Burger, sandwich thin, 2 tbsp of goat cheese, lettuce, onion, pickles, Heinz 57 -- with sweet potato (10 pp)
  • Emily Bites Pizza Logs (2 pp per log, but keep in mind it's one of those weird values where it's like 5 pp for 2 logs or something like that)
Snacks
  • Kellogg's Fiber Plus antioxidants chewy bar with protein -- I like the mixed nut with chocolate (4 pp)
  • Smart Pop mini popcorn bag (2 pp)
  • Apple slices (0 pp)
  • Grapes (0 pp)
  • Sliced navel orange with salt (0 pp)
  • South Beach Diet Good To Go bars with extra fiber -- I like the chocolate of course (3 pp)
  • Popchips -- 1 serving (3 pp)
  • Sliced strawberries, 2 tbsp of Hersey's sugar-free syrup, and 3 tbsp of fat free Cool Whip (0 pp)
  • Unsweetened apple sauce with cinnamon (0 pp)
  • Dannon Light & Fit or Yoplait greek yogurt (2 pp)
I get 26 points a day so whatever I have left over after I track my breakfast, lunch, and dinner (yup, I pre-track everything), I use on snacks.  I eat a lot of snacks.

Sooooo hope that helps!  :)
