DH and I both do WW. We start our grocery shopping trips by filling our cart with fresh fruits and veggies. Then we buy lean meats, low-fat cheese and deli meats, double-fiber whole wheat bread, fat-free yogurt, skim milk, Lean Cuisines for when we don't feel like cooking, WW ice cream bars, a few 100-calorie snacks, Special K cereal for me, and cases of water and Crystal Light mix. Sometimes we buy sugar-free jello cups and pudding for snacks.
Apple Cranberry butter is great (zero points for partial serving) on a 1 point Thomas' english muffin Light (not from TJs)
Egg whites..fill you up!
Baked blue corn chips from TJs.
Black beans (make a salad very substantial).
99% FF turkey burger (makes a great meat loaf...google hungry girl taco meatloaf).
safeway has their own brand of lean cuisines called Eating Right (very yummy, always on sale for 5/$10
94% fat free microwave popcorn is my go-to snack. Can have a lot of it for not a lot of points.
Personally, I'd rather eat less of the real deal, but I've had a BLAST cooking with the Hungry Girl cookbook. I love that, with having some basic ingredients on hand, I can cook anything from it, knowing it's low-fat.
I am also in love with spray butter (I can't believe it's not butter) and skinny cow ice cream sandwiches.
Re: WW ladies: help me make a grocery list, please.
I love ff/sf chocolate pudding, but the cook n serve kind, not instant. Eaten when it is still warm, its amazing.
oooh I'd love to see the responses to this too!
(sorry, I'm no help!)
I stock up on fruits and veggies and then lean meats. I also love the WW cheese slices and I buy sliced turkey from the deli.
I also get a lot of beans too and the SF Jello is a nice treat.
I am trying (unsuccessfully, thank you Nest) to make my grocery list right now too.
My standby snacks--Fiber One bars, skinny cow ice cream sandwiches, pita chips or carrots and hummus, fruits and veggies
I bought the Hungry Girl cookbook recently and I am in love with it. It was worth every penny! It is especially good for lunches.
Favorite meals:
chicken cacciatore
chicken fajitas with low point wraps
pork fried rice made with brown rice
shrimp stir fry on brown rice
spaghetti squash mix with regular pasta (1/2 & 1/2)
turkey meatloaf, make with dry oatmeal instead of bread crumbs
Kim's bagels are really good for breakfast, or light english muffins with egg, canadian bacon and veggies
You're a TJs fan, right?
