myWW ZeroPoint Foods

ZeroPoint foods are super-flexible and can be used in lots of delicious (and unexpected) ways! These foods form the foundation of a healthy eating pattern, so they don’t need to be measured or tracked. The new myWW is the groundbreaking, most customized program ever offered. On myWW, each plan has different items that are designated as ZeroPoint foods. If you are not familiar with ZeroPoint foods, be sure to check out this post where I explain what they are.

When it comes to losing weight, everyone’s needs are different. What works well for one person may not work as well for you. While Weight Watchers (Reimagined) has always offered a personalized SmartPoints Budget based on age, weight, height, and sex, now you have the option of three unique ways to experience the WW journey. And if you find that your plan is no longer working for your life, you have the ability to switch to one of the other plans! I love that all three plans are equally flexible, simple, and effective when it comes to losing weight. Each one just helps you get there in a different way.

Each food plan has a unique balance of SmartPoints and ZeroPoint™ foods.

With myWW Green you’ve got the largest number of SmartPoints to spend on any food you choose, and 100+ ZeroPoint foods (fruits and non-starchy veggies) that are zero!

ZeroPoint Foods

I want to take a few minutes to explain what ZeroPoint Foods are for those who are not familiar with them. For many years one of the main features of the Weight Watchers program has been their point system. All foods are given a points value and your goal is to stay within your daily points allowance. Now with the Weight Watchers Freestyle program, many foods such as lean proteins, eggs, beans, lentils, tofu, nonfat plain yogurt, veggies, and fruit are called ZeroPoint Foods. The foods on this list form the foundation of a healthy eating pattern, so you don’t need to weigh, measure, or track any of them. They are a great way to stay within your daily points budget. 

ZeroPoint Vegetables – You can enjoy most non-starchy vegetables for zero points on the plan. You will have to count any oil or butter the vegetables are cooked with. This includes fresh, frozen, and canned vegetables as long as they aren’t packed with any additional oil, sugars, or fats. There are a few vegetables that are not zero points including potatoes, sweet potatoes, yams, parsnips, cassava, mushy peas, yuca, and olives.

ZeroPoint Fruits –  Almost all fruits are zero points but they should be eaten in moderation since they can quickly add up and slow your weight loss. This includes fresh fruit as well as frozen, canned, or jarred fruit as long as it doesn’t have added sugar. However, avocados, plantains, and any fruit that is made into a drink or smoothie are not ZeroPoint foods. This is because a smoothie contains much more fruit than you would normally eat in one sitting. For example, you would not normally eat several whole fruits, a cup berries, and some pineapple in one sitting but is common to have all this and more in a large smoothie.

ZeroPoint Condiments, Flavor Enhancers, and Spices – The WWFreestyle program also includes as ZeroPoint Foods spices, low calorie, low sugar condiments, and many of the things that we use to enhance the flavor of foods. Some of them are vinegars, broth, fresh and dried spices and rubs, mustard, hot sauce, capers, and salsa. Note: These are zero points when used in small amounts but if you are using more in a recipe you may have to count the points.
