To make this truly zero points, according to WW rules (counting blended fruit), you could simply not blend the fruit for the smoothie. Just kind of make a yogurt bowl and then the fruit would be zero. Even if you omitted the almond milk and OJ, the calorie difference is minimal - maybe 20 calories. Or go ahead and make the smoothie without the fruit and just add the fruit so you're eating it. ;) I personally have never counted my blended fruit, but that's just me. Y'all know my saying - you do you! 😉
OMG! This was so helpful!! I'm 66 years old and just finished treatment for breast cancer 5 months ago. Your video was exactly what I needed to kick start my motivation to move forward with my WW goals. Thank you so much and I subscribed to your channel. Looking forward to watching more and learning a lot. Thanks again!!
These foods look so good and healthy too! I hate when people show what they eat in a day on WW and start out with Mcdonald's food.....NOOO! Lol! Thanks for this video, it's so helpful to me
Thanks so much!! I think those are probably trying to show that eating McDonald's once in a while is a norm for them, (and completely okay) so they're showing it since they eat that on that particular day. But just for me personally, I honestly don't eat fast food hardly ever because it just doesn't agree with me. But if I did have it on a day I was doing a What I Eat video, I'd feel the need to show it out of honesty with everyone. Hope that made sense. But it definitely wouldn't be a regular thing for me. ;) I'm so glad the video was helpful!! 😊
Shut the front door! I made the pepperoni chicken for supper and it’s amazing!!! I poured some enchilada sauce over it instead of rotel since I didn’t have any. Excellent, thanks!
I'm so glad I came across your account... I'm a newbie at WW and was so worried about using up all my points and still being hungry, thank you so much for showing us, and thank you to your friend for challenging you ❤
Super interesting! I tried WW, but I wasn’t eating enough zero point foods and was starving so I went to calorie counting and felt so much better. I have diet restrictions and it was just too hard for me on WW. I still sometimes use it when I want to be really healthy. I’m using my net diary and it seems to work for me. I have maintained my weight for years with intuitive eating, but found myself eating too many sweets. WW will certainly stop that!
Love this!! Perfect example of how different we all are and we just have to find what works for us individually - and most importantly, what we're HAPPY with. I love how you change things up too!
This was a great video!!! Everything looked so good. That chicken dinner looked delicious and I will definitely be making that. Thanks Kristi for all you do to help and inspire me, and I am sure so many others!!!
Your breakfast looked so good, as did the salad for lunch. I like to add tuna mixed with a little lite mayo. And then your chicken dinner - yum! You are one smart cookie! 😊
Hi Kristy! Love the chicken idea. Thanks! I'm glad you are still loving the white popcorn and are still problem free with it. I'm glad it was a good recommendation.
Thank you for sharing. I love these meal ideas and they are the foods that I love. I am 67, new to WW ( 2 weeks) and I am balancing this with Kidney stone diet needs. So far I am down 5 pounds and feeling so much better and have energy for exercise daily.
I'm so glad you like these ideas!! And congrats to you!!! Sounds like you're making this work great for you!! Having energy and exercise is sooo important, especially after 50! Keep up the great work!!
Thank you for this video - it was perfect timing for me. I’ve been planning a zero point day - I want to do one to kick start my weight loss again and then plan one once a month. I’ve done one before and it helped. Mostly, I think, it helped motivate me and helps me focus on eating all the healthy options. You have given me great ideas with this video - some things I didn’t think of adding like the different cheeses you used. I love your videos - especially how you get right to the subject but I didn’t mind the intro on this one at all. Great video!
Thanks so much! I agree with you - and I think just how good you feel afterwards really keeps you craving those healthy filling foods. So glad you enjoyed the video!! 😊
I just ran across your channel and subscribed! This is an awesome video! Thank you for posting it. I have been on Weight Watchers for a while but I never really know what to combine to make a zero point meal. I hope you continue to post videos like this. I am going to start watching you more. I have about 55-60 pounds to loose and I think this will help me a lot. Thank you.
1/27/24 = I watched your video on ZERO PTS in a whole day and thank you for TEACHING me HOW to cook some dishes in that video, seriously thank you for also giving me HOPE for real. YOU are amazing!!!!!!! hugs
I love this!! ❤ I always worked hard to get my blue circle 🔵. When you eat zero points you don’t get the circle right? I feel like seeing those filled in circles is a sign of success. I need to change my mind set. Ha ha. Plenty of food and 0 points. So impressive!
Thats absolutely correct. That's why I have never paid attention to the blue circles personally. That's why I have started using WW more as a guide over the last couple years. It's so different for each of us, depending what our way of eating is. Thanks my friend! ❤️
Love ths! Thank You for sharing! Ie been on WW on and off through the past 16 years! Hit Lifetime about 14 years ago andhave maintained ever since and even taken moreweight off! Started at 170 lbs and now reside at a respectful 115 lbs. I find on WW i never 'stare' but when i calorie counti most certainly do......thank you again!
This Video has helped me so much ❤I laughed when you said you was 4’11’’ I’m the same height and oh boy at the short jokes I get lol you are a inspiration to me keep up the good work thanks may GOD bless you and yours 😊
This is a great video, I’m on WW 3 days and eating a lot of the Zero Points, and it’s a lot of food. I couldn’t even eat all of it. I lost 3 pounds in the 3 days. I know water weight but I’m so happy. I’m going to get the butter spay and popcorn sprinkle you used, I love white popcorn. Thank you for sharing your day with us.
Such good tips! Good job on salad and dinner! Cute corn popper and will look for that kind of popcorn. My carbs are 30 per meal. Good motivational video! Thanks!
Thanks so much!! I'll definitely try to do another one like this. I was thinking to at least do some 0-point dinner videos just by themselves too, so I'll see what I can come up with. :)
Hi Great video! Thank you! I come to youtube to get inspiration from everyone else that does WW ..... right now I'm personally struggling with a small setback (broken knee cap) so my regular exercise has been disrupted. Lost over 100 #s on WW and my activity level is key to my plan. Walking is fine but they don't want me to swim so my weight has gone up ugh! Your work here's so appreciated by me. Don't know anything about macros though.... maybe that's where I'm missing out? thank you for such a good presentation! My new fav zero points snacks are herbal tea w/ apple slices (I'm in New England--cold here!) Smoked paprika chicken breast, unsweetened applesauce w/ berries, grape tomatoes, and there's more! The blender's one of my fav appliances so the whole blending rule challenges me and good for you for having it your way! May try that myself at some point!
Thank you so much!! I know exactly what you mean! I've come to realize that exercise is absolutely key to me!! If you're following WW, you don't really need to worry about macros. They factor that all in for you. I just share it because I do track my protein at the request of my doctor, but I definitely wouldnt recommend tracking macros and calories AND WW. Just stick to one or the other to make it simple! :)
Thanks for those great meals,ive been off WW for few years,i will definitely being watching more of your videos and get back on track in moderation ,thanks Diana NZ
I really liked this video, you gave me some good ideas on how to navigate through the points. I normally have weekly points left over because, I just don't get to use them all. You did a good job 🎉
I loved this challenge! Mind if I give it a go for my small channel? Of course I’ll credit you with the idea and tag your video in my description. Please let me know. Dinner looked suppler yummy and I have all those ingredients already on hand. Thanks!
Absolutely!! Go for it!! I actually meant to mention that in the video - it's kind of like an open collaboration for anyone who wants to give it a go. I'm excited to see what others come up with! 😀
So glad accountable to your channel. I am 50 and on the struggle bus girlfriend my first week of Weight Watchers. I lost 7 pounds. I’m on my second week and I haven’t lost anything. I’ll start the first week lol if you think about it or if you have already done it and I can’t find the video would love to have a video of where you purchased all of your work containers popcorn popper. Thank you for all your contact
Thanks so much! That's a huge loss for the first week. Not losing the second week is completely normal, especially after such a big loss the first week. I usually link items in the description box of my videos, mostly my meal prep videos. But you can also go to my Planning Us Healthy Amazon storefront, which is linked in the description box as well. That's where you'll find a lot of the items I use.
I don't really notice a huge difference. I have noticed the quality of the chicken makes a difference though. I know what you mean about the ones that are stringy!!
Technically it’s not a 0 pt day if you add fruit to your smoothie. I know you know that, but if you’re saying you are challenging yourself to 0 pts, you should do 0 pts according to WW rules yeah? What would your smoothie have been if you added it to the recipe maker in the ww app? It wasn’t a lot of fruit though and it sure did look good!!! So my challenge to you would be could you technically do a 0 pt day and still hit 1400 or more calories? This is a great video thanks for sharing!! New sub ❤
Totally understand what you're saying. That's why I mentioned that you could just make a yogurt bowl out of the same ingredients. It's just the blended fruit, by WW rules, that has points. So, in that case, I just wouldn't have blended it, and it would be 0. Hope that made sense. 😊 And welcome!!
@@PlanningUsHealthy same with us. this week another hot week. We have been making and enjoying some cold salads with chicken or tuna. the tuna with peas and onions was refreshing n yummy. i used chopped celery, and chopped fresh carrots, light mayo, avocado oil and celery seed, garlic and onion powder in both. 😊
@@PlanningUsHealthy you’ll love it. note… i buy frozen peas and at the very end of mixing my ingredients.. i just simply add them. i do not cook or thaw them out. this way they stay crisp n fresh and not mush 👍❣️
Ohhh yum!! And I agree! Avocado and tortilla chips on top for sure! That's the great thing with the zero point meals is you can use the points for the yummy toppings! 😋
Kristi, everything you made looked great! The chicken would be a huge hit with my family. Also can you tell me the brand of the frozen avocado chunks & where you got them? Thanks a bunch. Have a great week.
Thanks Kristi , we have an Aldi just minutes from where we live. Also, I have had a really good week. I haven’t done so well for several months, but finally decided I needed to get back on WW & get serious about it. Tomorrow is my weigh in day. I’m eager to see how I’ve done.
I used to love canned chicken on my salads but I’ve been trying to cut sodium. Instead, now I make a batch of poached chicken in the crockpot, poached in low sodium chicken broth, and then I have much healthier shredded chicken for the week.
Great idea!! I definitely prefer fresh chicken over canned. I've been known to rinse canned chicken in a strainer and just run water over it to remove some of the sodium. But there's nothing better than chicken in the crockpot! Yum!!!
Hello my name is Nadine ( this is my husband Naji's channel) and I've been on WW for about 1 year. So far it has been working very well. I loved your video and wanted to know what do you use to track your protein, fat and fiber? Is that an app? Thanks again😊
I think you should have an intro to every video Kristi.!! You are absolutely beautiful and it's always a pleasure seeing you on your videos!! I don't know a whole lot about weight watchers but your videos are always educational and interesting! Especially with you doing an intro 😉 thanks for sharing Kristi ..!
Thanks so much!! It's so crazy how for some higher healthy fat is better and for some lower is better. I have a friend who does moderate protein, high fat and low carb and now she's losing. It's so crazy.
Hi, I have a ?.. I just started WW with 23 points a day. I was just wondering how we can eat free foods all day because aren't we suppose to eat our daily points? Please explain. Thank you!
Hi there! I also get 23 points a day plus 28 weeklies. And yes, we ARE supposed to eat them. On a typical day, I do eat my 23 points, as well as my extras throughout the week. I also eat a lot of the zero-point foods in a day as well. I usually use my points for adding things to zero point foods - cheese, sauce, etc., nuts, olive oils, whole grains, etc. This particular video was just showing how you can get creative with zero point foods. But they are definitely not "free" foods, so to speak. Everything has calories. So, if I would have eaten all this PLUS my 23 points, chances are I would have been over my calories for this particular day. It's all about moderation though. Feel free to check out some of my What I Eat in a Day videos to see how I typically use my points in a day. I hope that made sense and was helpful. :)
It's because at some point, when you have more of something, it then becomes a point. This doesn't happen for true zero-point foods, but for foods that actually have points, you usually go by the normal serving size and it has points. But if you just want a small amount of something, it's possible it can be zero. But then having several servings of that throughout the day, would bring it to the normal serving size. That's why I don't do a lot of videos like this because I want to have a good relationship with food and not be so stringent on things like that. But I wanted to also show that it's still possible to make a zero point day out of pointed foods and have it be a decent amount of calories without just eating chicken and veggies. Hope that made sense. :)
I’m thinking of joining, I eat plant based/vegan, do you think if I eat an egg substitute (I use one called Just Egg) that it could equate to zero points as well? Or no idea?
Hi there! I was going to guess that it would be zero points, but I looked it up and it says 2 points. But keep in mind, you will get so many points a day plus extra weeklies that you could use. (I get 23 a day plus 28 weeklies). But beans, fruits, and veggies are all zero (I'm making the assumption you are focused on those). So I think it would even itself out. I can't really be sure though.
@@PlanningUsHealthy I’m all about tofu, beans, oats, fruits & veggies of course, but I do have my vegan substitutes as well like Just Egg, Beyond steak, Daring chicken which I like to add to salads. I appreciate you looking it up ☺️
Thank you for sharing this. Do you struggle with hunger issues? I'm a 45 year old female, and I struggle with constant hunger. I'm not diabetic. My doctor put me on Metformin to help. I've been on it for a week and a half but don't like it. I want to increase my protein intake without going over my WW Points. I don't buy or eat beef too often. I also don't eat eggs. They make me nauseous. If I do eat an egg it will most likely be a boiled egg in a salad. I do like my plant based protein like Garden of Life. Any suggestions?
Hi there! Honestly, I don't struggle with hunger issues at all anymore. (I used to back years ago when I would restrict my calories). I eat all my points plus my weeklies (but not my exercise points). I just make sure to be as balanced as possible throughout the day. I eat A LOT of veggies, so the fiber in those really fill me up. Are you eating your weekly points in addition to your daily points? If not, it may be possible that you're just not eating enough. It wouldn't hurt to try to find a registered dietician who can maybe help figure things out for you. We are all so different so it's really hard to say. ;)
I used to do these once in a while a while back but since I've been more focused on health and not appearance, I've tried to back away from them some. But I've thought about doing some for workouts, so I may do those in the future!
Loved the video! :-) Quick question...could you please let me know what brand of fat free cottage cheese you used for zero points? Thanks so much! It all looked great :)
Luckily I don't have any issues with fruit or carbs. Well, refined carbs can sometimes be troublesome..lol...but it also depends on my activity. For example, if it's a lifting day, I will focus on carbs before I lift, and then focus on protein afterwards.
Hi there! Not really sure what this means..long way to go where? LOL - But thank you. I've actually come a long way in my learning and understanding of nutrition and fueling the body properly without all the disordered eating. And for the first time, all my labs are within normal range, so my doctor and I are extremely happy with that. 😊 Hope you have a wonderful week!
Hi there. No, the plan with the colors was the plan from over a year ago. It was the one before Personal Points actually. This plan now is simply called points. But it's very comparable to the old blue plan, with a few differences.
@@LindaRushing-l7w Thanks so much! You shouldn't hear me refer to the colors in these latest videos (like this one) since I don't do the colors now. You maybe were watching some old videos from when we had the color plans. :) So, basically whatever plan was going on at the time I did a particular video, that's what I was referring to. Hope that made sense.
@@LindaRushing-l7w You can just go to my main page by clicking on my name. At the top, click videos and it will give you all my videos from recent to oldest. :)
When i scanned the chia seeds even for 1/2 tablespoon it was still 1 point, and also the chobani yogart for 1/2 container is 1 point..so how is it zero points??
Hmmm...I'm not sure why yours are scanning different. I just double checked my brands and they both still come out to 0 for that amount. That's honestly not the first time I've heard the app scanning different for people. Not sure if there are updates or what. But I always say scan things with what your scan says. 😊

Thanks so much! That's a huge loss for the first week. Not losing the second week is completely normal, especially after such a big loss the first week. I usually link items in the description box of my videos, mostly my meal prep videos. But you can also go to my Planning Us Healthy Amazon storefront, which is linked in the description box as well. That's where you'll find a lot of the items I use.
Do you find air frying chicken breasts keeps them more tender? I'm so sick of tough, stringy chicken breasts! Thanks for the meal ideas!
I don't really notice a huge difference. I have noticed the quality of the chicken makes a difference though. I know what you mean about the ones that are stringy!!
Love this video. I need to make that chicken dinner, yummy
Thanks so much! It was sooooo good!! I need to get the recipe up on my website for sure!!
Technically it’s not a 0 pt day if you add fruit to your smoothie. I know you know that, but if you’re saying you are challenging yourself to 0 pts, you should do 0 pts according to WW rules yeah? What would your smoothie have been if you added it to the recipe maker in the ww app? It wasn’t a lot of fruit though and it sure did look good!!! So my challenge to you would be could you technically do a 0 pt day and still hit 1400 or more calories? This is a great video thanks for sharing!! New sub ❤
Totally understand what you're saying. That's why I mentioned that you could just make a yogurt bowl out of the same ingredients. It's just the blended fruit, by WW rules, that has points. So, in that case, I just wouldn't have blended it, and it would be 0. Hope that made sense. 😊 And welcome!!
This was a good day. The protein is high and that is good. Thank you for the ideas
Thank you so much!! 😊😊
Love this-very inspiring!
Thank you!! 💕
excellent video! i need to use my duo instant pot more often. the air fried stuffed chicken breast looks outstanding! nice job Sister! 😊👍
Thanks so much!! That dinner was soooo good!! You could easily make it in the oven as well. I LOVE my air fryer - especially this time of year! 🥵
@@PlanningUsHealthy same with us. this week another hot week. We have been making and enjoying some cold salads with chicken or tuna. the tuna with peas and onions was refreshing n yummy. i used chopped celery, and chopped fresh carrots, light mayo, avocado oil and celery seed, garlic and onion powder in both. 😊
Ohhhh I will be making that!! I just did a screenshot. That sounds so good!!! Never thought of peas and onions in it!! 😋😋
@@PlanningUsHealthy you’ll love it. note… i buy frozen peas and at the very end of mixing my ingredients.. i just simply add them. i do not cook or thaw them out. this way they stay crisp n fresh and not mush 👍❣️
@@sandiland0000 Thank you!!! I will do that because I like them fresh and crisp as well! ;)
Very helpful and enlightening!! Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much! 😊
I love to make a chicken taco soup. But I tend to add avocado and tortilla chips on top. Or I make a 0 point chili that a put on air fried potatoes.
Ohhh yum!! And I agree! Avocado and tortilla chips on top for sure! That's the great thing with the zero point meals is you can use the points for the yummy toppings! 😋
Kristi, everything you made looked great!
The chicken would be a huge hit with my family. Also can you tell me the brand of the frozen avocado chunks & where you got them? Thanks a bunch. Have a great week.
Thanks so much, Lynn! It's the Season's Choice brand from Aldi. :) Hope you have a great week!
Thanks Kristi , we have an Aldi just minutes from where we live. Also, I have had a really good week. I haven’t done so well for several months, but finally decided I needed to get back on WW & get serious about it. Tomorrow is my weigh in day. I’m eager to see how I’ve done.
Love the breakdown; thanks! Quick question, what app do you use to track calories and macros?
Thanks so much! I use My Fitness Pal.
I loved this! Thank you for the great content!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much!! :)
That breakfast looked so good. Thank you.
Thanks so much! It was really good! 😋
That was great. All the foods I love.
Thanks so much!! 😊
Great video Kristi!
Thanks so much!! 🥰
I used to love canned chicken on my salads but I’ve been trying to cut sodium. Instead, now I make a batch of poached chicken in the crockpot, poached in low sodium chicken broth, and then I have much healthier shredded chicken for the week.
Great idea!! I definitely prefer fresh chicken over canned. I've been known to rinse canned chicken in a strainer and just run water over it to remove some of the sodium. But there's nothing better than chicken in the crockpot! Yum!!!
Hello my name is Nadine ( this is my husband Naji's channel) and I've been on WW for about 1 year. So far it has been working very well. I loved your video and wanted to know what do you use to track your protein, fat and fiber? Is that an app? Thanks again😊
Hi there! Thanks so much! I use MyFitnessPal to track macros. It's an app, but I believe you can also use it on the computer.
Great idea for a video!
Thank you so much!! 😊
Great job Kristi!
Thanks Delline!! 🥰
Ty for the video that all looked great ... where did u get the popcorn maker ?
Thanks so much!! And sorry about that - I meant to link it. I got it on Amazon. I added the link to the description box for you. :)
I think you should have an intro to every video Kristi.!! You are absolutely beautiful and it's always a pleasure seeing you on your videos!! I don't know a whole lot about weight watchers but your videos are always educational and interesting! Especially with you doing an intro 😉 thanks for sharing Kristi ..!
Thank you!!
You're very welcome Kristi..!! You are such a beautiful woman! Just a friendly compliment..!
I like PB2. good idea with the apple.
Thanks so much! 😊
That breakfast was impressive
Thanks so much!! It was so good!! 😋
Great food options, thanks
Thanks so much!! 😊
A great zero pointer for your carrots is Greek yogurt with either a little salsa or ranch dry seasoning mixed in
Oh, I'll have to try that one! Thanks Kathy! 💕
This was so helpful! Thank you!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching! 😊
Great weight loss day - low fat high protein and I drop the weight fast! eating healthy fats over 30-40 grams daily and the weight pours on!
Thanks so much!! It's so crazy how for some higher healthy fat is better and for some lower is better. I have a friend who does moderate protein, high fat and low carb and now she's losing. It's so crazy.
Love the video. Found it very informative.
Thanks so much! So glad you found it informative. I appreciate the feedback! 😊
I am new here.Linda from iowa.first time here😊❤
Hi Linda! Welcome!! 😊❤️
Hi, I have a ?.. I just started WW with 23 points a day. I was just wondering how we can eat free foods all day because aren't we suppose to eat our daily points? Please explain. Thank you!
Hi there! I also get 23 points a day plus 28 weeklies. And yes, we ARE supposed to eat them. On a typical day, I do eat my 23 points, as well as my extras throughout the week. I also eat a lot of the zero-point foods in a day as well. I usually use my points for adding things to zero point foods - cheese, sauce, etc., nuts, olive oils, whole grains, etc. This particular video was just showing how you can get creative with zero point foods. But they are definitely not "free" foods, so to speak. Everything has calories. So, if I would have eaten all this PLUS my 23 points, chances are I would have been over my calories for this particular day. It's all about moderation though. Feel free to check out some of my What I Eat in a Day videos to see how I typically use my points in a day. I hope that made sense and was helpful. :)
Yes it helps.. with me being a newbie I need all the help I can get so I will definitely be watching your videos. Thank you so much! 😊
I love this video!!! Thank you!!!
So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much! :)
Thank you for the great dishes
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!! :)
Great video. Honest question since. I dont unserstand WW.. why was the feta cheese 0 points at breakfast but you couldnt add it to your salad?
It's because at some point, when you have more of something, it then becomes a point. This doesn't happen for true zero-point foods, but for foods that actually have points, you usually go by the normal serving size and it has points. But if you just want a small amount of something, it's possible it can be zero. But then having several servings of that throughout the day, would bring it to the normal serving size. That's why I don't do a lot of videos like this because I want to have a good relationship with food and not be so stringent on things like that. But I wanted to also show that it's still possible to make a zero point day out of pointed foods and have it be a decent amount of calories without just eating chicken and veggies. Hope that made sense. :)
Thank you for explaining. That makes sense now.
I’m thinking of joining, I eat plant based/vegan, do you think if I eat an egg substitute (I use one called Just Egg) that it could equate to zero points as well? Or no idea?
Hi there! I was going to guess that it would be zero points, but I looked it up and it says 2 points. But keep in mind, you will get so many points a day plus extra weeklies that you could use. (I get 23 a day plus 28 weeklies). But beans, fruits, and veggies are all zero (I'm making the assumption you are focused on those). So I think it would even itself out. I can't really be sure though.
@@PlanningUsHealthy I’m all about tofu, beans, oats, fruits & veggies of course, but I do have my vegan substitutes as well like Just Egg, Beyond steak, Daring chicken which I like to add to salads. I appreciate you looking it up ☺️
Great video. Do you have link for popcorn maker?
Sure do! It's in the description box in the list of links. Thanks so much! 😊
Can I please ask where you buy the Skinny Girl dressing - I think you are in Australia?
I'm in the US. I get it at my local Publix or sometimes Walmart.
Great video! Thank yo!
Thanks so much!! :)
Girl, let me teach you how to make an omelette!😉
LOL!! Please do!! I am hit or miss, let me tell ya! 🤣
Great video
Thank you!! 😊
Great Video 😊
Thanks so much!! :)
Thank you for sharing ❤😊
And thank you for watching! ❤️
I agree. You shouldn’t have to count fruit or veggies blended
I don't think I got fat on blended fruit or veggies! LOL
Thank you for sharing this. Do you struggle with hunger issues? I'm a 45 year old female, and I struggle with constant hunger. I'm not diabetic. My doctor put me on Metformin to help. I've been on it for a week and a half but don't like it. I want to increase my protein intake without going over my WW Points.
I don't buy or eat beef too often. I also don't eat eggs. They make me nauseous. If I do eat an egg it will most likely be a boiled egg in a salad. I do like my plant based protein like Garden of Life. Any suggestions?
Hi there! Honestly, I don't struggle with hunger issues at all anymore. (I used to back years ago when I would restrict my calories). I eat all my points plus my weeklies (but not my exercise points). I just make sure to be as balanced as possible throughout the day. I eat A LOT of veggies, so the fiber in those really fill me up. Are you eating your weekly points in addition to your daily points? If not, it may be possible that you're just not eating enough. It wouldn't hurt to try to find a registered dietician who can maybe help figure things out for you. We are all so different so it's really hard to say. ;)
@@PlanningUsHealthy Thanks. Yes I eat all my points plus my weeklies.
I have to eat at keast 3 points of any protein in the morning or I want to snack all day. I love 2% cottage cheese with sugar free maple syrup. Yumm!
@@photomom1169 Ohhh, cottage cheese with syrup??? Now, that's a new one I need to try!!!
Can we see some before and after some times or face Friday this motivates me great videos
I used to do these once in a while a while back but since I've been more focused on health and not appearance, I've tried to back away from them some. But I've thought about doing some for workouts, so I may do those in the future!
Loved the video! :-) Quick question...could you please let me know what brand of fat free cottage cheese you used for zero points? Thanks so much! It all looked great :)
Thanks so much! On the WW program, all fat-free cottage cheese is 0 points! 😊 I used Great Value brand though.
@@PlanningUsHealthy Ahh thanks so much! I'm on the Diabetic WW so maybe that's the difference. Have a Great week! :-)
Ohhh, yep, that's right!! Thanks! You as well!
What a great video!
Thank you!! 😊
Nice video.
Thanks so much! 😊
I’m continuing the zero point through august. Just for me❤
Glad it's working for you! :)
The food looks good
Thanks so much Rose!
Awesome
😊😊
You can have Avacado chunks for 0 but not fresh Avacdo for 0?
You can have 12 grams of fresh avocado for 0 points. 😊
I can't make omelets because they fall apart. Therefore I make "scrambled eggs plus."
Mine are hit or miss. LOL But I love what you call them! Scrambled eggs plus!! 🤣 That's great!
Bananas and pineapple and juice would push my blood sugar to like 300 and make me crave carbs all day. Looks good though.
Luckily I don't have any issues with fruit or carbs. Well, refined carbs can sometimes be troublesome..lol...but it also depends on my activity. For example, if it's a lifting day, I will focus on carbs before I lift, and then focus on protein afterwards.
Boy, you got a loooooong way to go! Good luck!
Hi there! Not really sure what this means..long way to go where? LOL - But thank you. I've actually come a long way in my learning and understanding of nutrition and fueling the body properly without all the disordered eating. And for the first time, all my labs are within normal range, so my doctor and I are extremely happy with that. 😊 Hope you have a wonderful week!
@@PlanningUsHealthy You will get there!
I’m on the new weight watchers 2023 plan so is that same as purple blue or green?
Hi there. No, the plan with the colors was the plan from over a year ago. It was the one before Personal Points actually. This plan now is simply called points. But it's very comparable to the old blue plan, with a few differences.
@@PlanningUsHealthy ok thanks I like the tips and info you share but you always refer to the colors so was just wondering what it is for me!
@@LindaRushing-l7w Thanks so much! You shouldn't hear me refer to the colors in these latest videos (like this one) since I don't do the colors now. You maybe were watching some old videos from when we had the color plans. :) So, basically whatever plan was going on at the time I did a particular video, that's what I was referring to. Hope that made sense.
@@PlanningUsHealthy kinda new to TH-cam also and all I seem to find are your old videos how do I follow you current
@@LindaRushing-l7w You can just go to my main page by clicking on my name. At the top, click videos and it will give you all my videos from recent to oldest. :)
When i scanned the chia seeds even for 1/2 tablespoon it was still 1 point, and also the chobani yogart for 1/2 container is 1 point..so how is it zero points??
Hmmm...I'm not sure why yours are scanning different. I just double checked my brands and they both still come out to 0 for that amount. That's honestly not the first time I've heard the app scanning different for people. Not sure if there are updates or what. But I always say scan things with what your scan says. 😊
What app to track your macros do you use?
I use MyFitnessPal - I've used that for years, so it's just one I'm used to.
Thank you 🙂
