The Blonde Diaries

Last month, I pointed out some oh-so-tasty foods that are 0 points on the Weight Watchers program. I thought it would be a good idea to talk about 1 point* food today as I am still working on getting back “on program” but also because even if you aren’t on Weight Watchers, this list would be relevant because it would help you snack and eat healthily on your own.

• Beverages – light beer (12oz), 1 glass wine (4 oz), fat-free or sugar-free hot chocolate, Juice (1/2 cup), 1/2 cup milk
• Breads – Most high Fiber breads are 1 point per slice or 1 point for 2 slices (Nature’s Own Lite Bread is 2 slices for 1 pt)
• Fruits – 1 cup of any of the following: blueberries, blackberries, cherries, cantaloupe, grapes, grapefruit, oranges, raspberries, strawberries.  1 small piece of the following: apples, pears, nectarines, plums, and tangerines
• Protein sources – 1 piece bacon, 1 serving of egg beaters, 3 egg whites, 1 fat free hot dog, 1 oz lunch meat, 1 slice fat free cheese
• Seafood – 2 oz of the following: crabs, crawfish, shrimp, scallops, white fish, and lobster meat

There are many 1 point foods and beverages out there.  I have found many more so look for a part 2 coming soon! I hope they give you good ideas on things you can add or substitute in your diet.

*A rough estimate of a Weight Watchers point is 50 calories.
