Weight Watchers Weekly Mean Plan and Recipes (2024)

Every Saturday I share myWeight Watchers Weekly Meal Plans with Points and Recipeshere on Simple Nourished Living. It includes what I'm planning to have for breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well a few snack and dessert ideas.

Taking the time to think about what I'm cooking and eating ahead of time makes meal times so much easier. With the shopping done and weight watchers recipes at the ready I can just walk into the kitchen and get cooking. I don't stick to it one hundred percent. Life happens. But,it helps to have a rough guide and prevents me from reaching into the cookie jar or bag of chips too often. Whoever said that failing to plan was planning to fail was spot on!

I think we all know that cooking at home as much as we can is betterfor us. I recently ran across thisstudylinking home cooking with a healthier diet.Basically, the study confirmed that people who cook at home more frequently ate fewer calories and less sugar than those who cooked at home less.

And there's more good news:When these people did eat out, the home cooks tended to consume fewer calories out of the home as well. I think the process of cooking gives home cooks better awareness of the ingredients and associated calories involved in preparing various dishes so we have the understanding to make better choices when we eat out.

We are all really busy, so the key to successful home cooking is tokeep things simple. I tend to rotate between the same one or two breakfasts and lunches the days I eat at home. And because we are a family of two most recipes I make result in leftovers that we are happy to eat again. So, I usually only cook from scratch three or four times a week. We like to eat out a couple of times, usually during the weekend.

If I end up with more food than we can eat, I portion it out, package it up and pop it in the freezer for future quick and easy lunches and dinners.

I hope these posts make it easier for you to stay on track with your weight loss and/or healthy eating goals too. It's a process that gets easier with practice.

Weight Watchers Weekly Meal Plan (Week #47)

The temperatures here are SLOWLY beginning to move downward which is such a relief. We've survived another summer in Phoenix and I can think about turning on the oven again! Have a lovely week and remember to take the time to cook something healthy and delicious for yourselves, dear friends!

Breakfast

This week I'm going to begin the day with a skinny latte (2PP) and either:

1) Scrambled egg (2PP) on an English Muffin (3PP) with Fruit (0PP) on the side

2) Fruit (0PP) and a Breakfast Cookie- I've got a collection of recipes here, most with 3 to 5 WWPP

Lunch

I like to keep lunch quick and easy. Limiting my choices makes weight loss/maintenance easier. (Here's researchthat supports the idea.) I usually eat lunch out a couple days a week, which prevents me from getting too bored.

1. Cottage Cheese (4PP) with Fruit (0PP)

2. Leftovers from dinner

Dinner

Because we are a family of two most recipes result in leftovers, so, I only cook from scratch three or four times a week. (We eat out once or twice.)

1. Skinny Southwestern Slow Cooker Chicken (9PP) -With just 6 ingredients and 10 minutes of prep time it’s a great quick and easy dinner solution for busy days. One of my all time favorite go to recipes.

2. Caprese Salad (6PP) - Sliced Tomatoes and Sliced Fresh Mozzarella with Fresh Basil drizzled with Olive Oil and Balsamic Vinegar. And Warm Crusty Bread (4PP)

3. Mom's Hamburger Goulash (9PP)with a Simple Tossed Green Salad (0PP) drizzled with Olive Oil (1t - 1PP) andBalsamic Vinegar (0PP) (This is a favorite from my childhood.)

4. Easy Baked Fish with Lemon and Herbs (2PP) with Green Beans (0PP) with Rice (½ cup - 3PP) and Green Beans (0PP)

5. Leftovers

Snacks

I try to limit my snacks to one in the late afternoon which keeps me from being overly hungry when I'm getting dinner. To prevent snacking while I'm making dinner, I often chew gum.

1.Triscuits (3PP) and Laughing Cow Cheese (1PP)

2.Baby Carrots (0PP) and Hummus (¼ cup - 3PP)

Dessert

I usually try to limit dessert to once or twice a week.

Healthy Baked Apples (3PP)
