Weight Watchers SmartPoints Zero Points Food List

Hello, Everyone!

It’s finally here – Weight Watchers Zero Points Food List for their SmartPoints Program.

 

Of course all of our veggies and fruits which were listed in the Zero PlusPoints Food List are still there, but they’ve made considerable changes to the condiments since WW is now cutting down on refined sugars and saturated fats with Beyond The Scale. Here is the new list.

For Zero SmartPoints, you can use the following to flavor you food:

chopped scallions or red onion

fresh herbs

dried herbs

reduced sodium soy sauce

pickled jalapeno peppers

unsweetened pickles or other pickled vegetables

capers

lemon, lime or orange zest

lemon or lime juice

hot sauce

mustard

fat-free salsa 

vinegar

vanilla or almond extract

*sobs rivers of tears* Can’t believe my ketchup is gone and now I actually have to measure it! LOL Good thing I found this Reduced Sugar ketchup from Heinz. You can get up to 5 Tablespoons for only 1 SmartPoint.

My Fat Free Mayo has also changed, but I only get 2 Tablespoons for 1 SmartPoint. It goes up after that.

But at least I can get up to 5 Tablespoons of my Worcestershire sauce for 1 SmartPoint. 1 Tablespoon is zero.

And though they don’t mention it, black coffee/tea (with no sugar) and cooking sprays are still at Zero SmartPoints. According to their online tracker, you can get up to 6 sprays for your cooking spray before it’s counted as a point. But y’all know my Work-around tip:

Julie’s Tip: Buy several different types of cooking sprays:

• Butter flavored
• Olive Oil
• Coconut Oil
• Grapeseed Oil
• Canola Oil, etc.

and use different ones throughout the meals of the day so you never reach 6 sprays of one type and therefore avoid adding points!

But that’s not all. Weight Watchers also shares how 1 SmartPoint can go a long way by sharing some great topping ideas to flavor our foods:

Very Important:

Please remember that the rule on blending fruit/veggies still applies. If you eat a fruit or veggie whole, it will usually be zero SmartPoints, but if you blend it or mash it, then you have to count points for it. Don’t fall for a recipe that tells you their fruit smoothie is zero SmartPoints.
