If you started the Weight Watchers Freestyle program recently, you may be shocked at how few points you get compared to some of the older plans. The good news is, there are now 200+ Zero Point Foods, including chicken, beans, and even corn! The bad news? Well, there really isn’t any! Even if you only get 23 points (which is the minimum for Freestyle), you can eat plenty of food. There’s no reason to be hungry with yummy Weight Watchers recipes! Here is a 5 day 23 Point Weight Watchers Freestyle Meal Plan to help you organize your eating this week!

23 Point Weight Watchers Meal Plan
You’ll notice each day doesn’t even come close to adding up to 23. This is to allow you the freedom to choose extras (like crackers, bread, chips, etc) as well as a few low point snacks to keep you full. You can also eat fruit, as it’s zero points. With more than 200 zero point foods, it can actually be difficult to eat all of your points. You can go under by up to 10 or above by up to 5 and still be in the “healthy” range according to Weight Watchers. If you find your weight loss stalling, though, you’ll want to cut back a little on the carbs and fruit, and increase your water intake.

Do you meal plan?
Meal planning can help save time and money… and points! It’s worth taking half an hour at the beginning of each week to plan everything out.

I have been on Weight Watchers for almost a year now and have lost 75 pounds. I am always looking for new recipes and you have complied a list here that are some of the best I have seen…thank you!
Thanks Awanna! Great job…I would love to write a post about your WW journey…are you interested?
Thank you so much for the info I am trying WW after having weight loss surgery that failed I was at a decent weight for about 10 minutes lol anyway I so appreciate being able to get new recipes & support. bella
I love your site, but, unfortunately The money is way to much now so I am always looking for ways to take off the weight. I need to loose about 50-75 lbs so I can feel better. I will try your site and see if this helps. Thanks again for this menu. I will try some of the recipes for my husband and myself to see if it is something he may like. Then I will work on the whole thing. Thanks again.
I totally understand. WW is expensive. I have gone back and forth between meetings and online…sometimes meetings are just too much! There is a lot of great info on line to help you get going.
Hi Jamie! I am thinking about trying ww however I do not have a meeting place near me and was wondering if the online option will give me all the information I need. I have never tried ww so don’t want to spend the money if online does not have all the info. Thanks and I am going to try your recipes regardless.
Hi Julie,
I have done online off and on and I think you can find all the information you need! The only thing missing is the group meeting.Good luck!
I am trying to lose weight on my own, and having 0 success. I looked at WW, but can’t afford it. so I joined your group for tips, and ideas. My problem is I know nothing about points, or what they mean. Help would be wonderful . I’m diabetic [ type 2] , 85 lbs. overweight, and 69 years old.
Diana, if you would like to email me at jamie@lifeissweeterbydesign.com I will help you as much as I can. Thanks!
Thank you so much for all this great information!
Anyone have the shopping list for this weeks plan/ menu?
Your website is fantastic! Where can I get a list of WW Freestyle Non-zero points food list?
Thank You for your meal plan. I am on WW and I get stuck on what to eat so this helps me plan all week with out having to think too much about it,
Hi Jamie. I just came upon your site and found it very informative. I especially like the 1 and 2 point snack lists. I’ve been a member of W.W. in the past, and I even have a Lifetime W.W. Member key (which I can’t find right now, but know it’s in the house somewhere). Anyway, I’m in the process of using some of my old books from W.W. to drop about 20 lbs. I think your site is going to help me reach that goal. Thank you so much for your site.
Thank you for publishing printer friendly recipes!
I have tried WW in the past but was overwhelmed. My budget is very tight. I need to loose weight but don’t think I can afford the monthly fee or grocery lists.
