Fill up on satisfying goodness, without filling up on points!
Here at SkinnyMs., we’re big fans of the Weight Watchers system, particularly their SmartPoints counting method. Weight Watchers doesn’t believe in banishing certain foods. Instead, they assign points to each food, allowing you to keep track of what you’re consuming while adhering to your weight management goals. We love this idea because it has nothing to do with counting calories!
Low Point Weight Watchers Dinners
So how does the counting system work? Well, foods higher in saturated fat and/or sugar have higher SmartPoints values, while foods lower in calories and higher in protein have fewer points. Whether you’re counting your daily points or simply looking for light and healthy dinners that won’t add inches to your waistline, you’ve come to the right place! We’ve grouped together a list of 50 delicious low point Weight Watchers dinners that clock in at just 7 SmartPoints or less.
If you’ve spent a great deal of points earlier in the day and you’re working with just a few left come dinnertime, these amazing dishes will rescue you! To make life easier, we’ve organized our dinner list into subcategories, from soups and salads to casseroles and pasta entrees. Check out these flavorful, filling, and easy-to-make dinners with low SmartPoints—you’ll be glad you did!
