prairiebreeze, there are LOTS of good things you can eat! (I just got home and read your note). I highly recommend the Progresso soups that are labeled "100 calorie per serving" on the front label. They taste good and most are only 1 or 2 points. You can make a sandwich out of low fat American, low-fat bologna or tuna (using diet bread) and have soup and a sandwich for only 3 or 4 points. You can add carrot sticks and celery and dill pickles for 0 points!

Another thing I do is use Fiber One ceral by general mills. That stuff has so much fiber that a half cup of it is ZERO points. I use it as my late-night desperation snack along with skim milk. You don't need sweetener because they have sweetened it with sucralose. Add some fruit to it if you like.

I also recommend Jello fat-free sugar-free pudding. I made a banana pudding for supper and one serving was only 3 points, even though I had added a banana!

Lean Cuisine makes some good entrees, and they put the points value on the side of the box in small print. I use a lot of those when I have to have something at my son's house.

Also, Eggbeaters gives you the equivalent of 2 eggs for only one point, and I scramble them with onions and jalopenos and put them on a WW English muffin with a piece of low fat cheese. THREE points!

Our class leader has a million tips and recipes like this. I take notes every week because I like to eat and broiled chicken with steamed vegetables is just not my style. LOL!

yes, I'm doing most of those things although I didn't know about Fiber One. Might have to take a look at that brand.

Nor have I tried the Eggbeaters. Somehow I just get by on one egg these days, even though it's an extra point.

There is a Blue Bunny ice cream bar product (sugar free of course) where the chocolate bars are zero points apparently due to the 5 fiber grams. The bars that are chocolate and vanilla mixed are 1 point. I eat a lot of the chocolate ones, well, one a day. WW also makes a good frozen one point chocolate bar call the Giant Chocolate Bar.

Lite microwave popcorn is a happy food. And frozen french fries, unbreaded and baked, are 3 point for 15 fries!

The Lean Cuisines are good, I like their panini sandwiches for a change. And I like the sugar free pudding too.
