Curious about how to eat out healthy on Weight Watchers? Wonder which restaurants have the best choices?
I found a great list of smart SmartPoints fast food choices for Weight Watchers today on the Meal Planning Mommies Blog that I wanted to share.
Alisha has compiled a great Fast Food Survival Guide for those on the Weight Watcher Smart Points program.
Once a week her husband brings her lunch at work and they sit and eat together.
Because she is doing Weight Watchers, she wanted to have a quick and easy Fast Food SmartPoints reference to help her make better choices.
So she lists a few of the options that are less than 10 Weight Watcher Smart Points for many popular fast food joints.
Note: This has been updated with new more sit down restaurants as well asWW Freestyle SmartPoints 🙂
When her husband texts her, asking what she wants for lunch, she refers to her list, rather than taking ten minutes to scroll through every option on the app.
The nice thing about this list is that you aren't having to weed through all the bad ideas to find the good ones.
Make the right choice before you have to make the choice! It's so much easier that way.
She also shared with him some of the things on this list to make life easier.
The other day he showed up with chicken noodle soup from Culver's, just 3 Weight Watchers SmartPoints!
This was perfect!
She didn't have to take the mental energy to consider if a cheeseburger and fries would taste better or not, the healthy option was already made for her!
