The Best Fast Food Options on Weight Watchers

You may have seen my recent article about the healthiest fast food options. In that article, I listed fast food entree options that were around 250 calories with less than 10 grams of fat. Many of my clients have requested a similar list set up by weight watchers points values. The following are fast food options below 7 Points and their Weight Watchers Points Plus values.

As you can see, compared to my simpler "fat and calories method" and other weight loss plans (including the old Weight Watchers Points plan), the Weight Watchers Points Plus weight loss plan gives you some more options since the program now compares protein, carbs, fat, and fiber for a clearer picture of how the food will actually metabolize in your body. Either method will produce the weight loss results you are after, but for some people the extra freedom really makes the difference toward sticking to a diet. After all, change takes many small steps- as I discussed in my hub, How to Be a Stronger Person Inside and Out.
