Can you eat unlimited zero point foods on Weight Watchers? ›

Everyone is given a list of zero point foods. That's right – you can eat as much as you want and not track a point! Weight Watchers purposefully makes a ton of foods zero points – and for good reason: it's fruits and vegetables! Specifically non-starchy vegetables.

Ground chicken or turkey that is labeled “breast” or “extra lean” or at least 98% fat free/2% fat. Deli meat that is specifically skinless chicken or turkey breast. If the product contains less than 2% of non-ZeroPoint ingredients (sugar, oil, food starch), it is still considered a ZeroPoint food.

While Weight Watchers does not require or recommend that WW members eat zero points worth of food in a day, eating zero point foods for a few days can give your weight loss a jump start. This isn't a long-term plan but rather a way to quickly get back on track with healthy eating.

You can still lose weight: ZeroPoint foods have been part of WeightWatchers for many years! We rigorously test our programs and have found that members can regularly incorporate all ZeroPoint foods into their everyday eating and still lose weight.

If I remove the skin from rotisserie chicken breast, is it a ZeroPoint food? Yes, as long as you're eating just the breast meat.

If you're looking for just a taste, a 3 Musketeers or a single Hershey's Kiss are your best bets at just 1 SmartPoints value each. Can't decide between Fun Size and mini? Smaller is usually better, but you might as well go for a Nestlé's Crunch Fun Size—since, like a mini, it has 3 SmartPoints values.

If you're eating more fruits and vegetables than you used to, and you're using them as snacks, to bulk up your meals, or as a tide-me-over, then great! If you're eating more than two serves of fruit every day, purely because it's one of your ZeroPoint foods, you might want to pull back a little.

What are the best zero point foods on Weight Watchers? ›

Your list of ZeroPoint foods includes culinary staples like chicken breast, eggs, non-starchy veggies, beans, and more.

Load up a baked potato and dig into a hearty, healthy meal. Start with a small baked potato (4 SmartPoints value), then load it up with one of these 0 SmartPoints value toppings, and dig into a hearty, healthy meal.

Weight Watchers is quick to state that free fruit doesn't mean unlimited fruit. Here's what WW says: "Fruits and vegetables aren't magically calorie-free just because most of them are zero SmartPoints values. We encourage you to eat fruits and vegetables because they are nutritious, satisfying, and tasty."

Your list may look slightly different than before, but this means every food and recipe has the same Points value for everyone. So sharing recipes—and your journey—with others is easier than ever. Note: There is a different shared list of ZeroPoint foods for members on the Diabetes-Tailored Plan.

Fruits and vegetables aren't magically calorie-free just because most of them are ZeroPoint foods. But we encourage you to eat fruits and vegetables because they are nutritious, satisfying, and tasty.
