Food Options

Friday, January 15, 2010

Here are hopefully a few new options for meals while watching your points. This came from the Weight Watchers Weekly flyer that we get at our meetings.

Breakfast (3 points value for each choice)

Fruit Parfait
* 1 cup fat-free plain yogurt
* 1 cup sliced strawberries
* 2 Tbsp crushed 100% bran flakes

Bran with Berries
* 3/4 cup 100% bran flakes
* 1/2 cup blueberries
* 3/4 cup fat free milk

Spinach-Cheese Frittata
Beat 4 eggs and 2 eggs whites; stir in 1 cup chopped spinach, 2 Tbsp chopped scallions, 1/4 tsp each salt and pepper. Coat 12 inch oven-proof skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium heat. Pour egg mixture into skillet. Cook until partially set, 5 minutes. Sprinkle on 1/2 cup shredded fat-free cheddar cheese. Bake in 400 degree oven 5 minutes. Remove; let stand 1 minute; cut in 8 wedges. Yields 2 wedges per serving.

Snacks (each combo is only 3 points)

*5 cups 94% fat free microwave popcorn
* 1 large apple
----------------------------------------------------
* 1 grande sugar-free cappuccino
* 10 baby carrots eith Tbsp fat-free ranch dressing
-----------------------------------------------------
*1 medium pear
*1 oz fat-free cheese
-----------------------------------------------------
*1 hard boiled egg
* 2 short bread sticks (I think this may be the small crunchy kind)

I have 3 more for lunch and dinner to post, but since they are kind of long, I will spread them out over the next couple of days. Hope these help. Have a great weekend!!
